        RECOGNIZING ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF CYNTHIA L. RAEHL, PHAR.D.

                                 ______


                           HON. SCOTT L. KLUG

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 17, 1994

  Mr. KLUG. Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to recognize the installation 
of a constituent of mine, Cynthia L. Raehl, Phar.D., as president of 
the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists during the society's 51st 
annual meeting in Reno, NV.
  With a membership of 30,000, ASHP is the national professional 
association that represents pharmacists who practice in health-care 
systems, including hospitals, health maintenance organizations, long-
term care facilities, and home-care agencies. The society has extensive 
publishing and educational programs designed to help members improve 
pharmaceutical services, and it is a national accrediting organization 
for pharmacy residency and pharmacy technician training programs.
  Even a cursory review of Dr. Raehl's impressive credentials reveals 
that she has the expertise and leadership to guide the society toward a 
larger role for pharmacy within a reformed health care system. She 
holds appointments as professor in the School of Pharmacy, University 
of Wisconsin, and clinical pharmacist in the cardiology department and 
coordinator of the ambulatory arrhythmia clinic at the William S. 
Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital in Madison, WI.
  Dr. Raehl has written or collaborated on 35 articles appearing in 
refered journals, book chapters and other professional publications. A 
recognized expert in cardiovascular pharmacotherapy, she has made 
presentations throughout the pharmacy profession in her community, 
State, and the Nation. She has also lectured before pharmacists in 
Turkey, Great Britain, Sweden, Spain, Israel, and the Pharmacy World 
Congress in Washington, DC.
  Dr. Raehl received her undergraduate degree in pharmacy from the 
University of Wisconsin and, following completion of her 3-year 
pharmacy residency at the Albert B. Chandler Medical Center, the doctor 
of pharmacy from the University of Kentucky.
  The American Society of Hospital Pharmacists has been an active 
participant in the health care debate of recent months. I look forward 
to its continuing leadership under Dr. Raehl's guidance.
