                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                         Tuesday, June 28, 1994

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of my 
colleagues, the outstanding work done by a leader in my congressional 
district, Percy Allen II.
  Mr. Allen and I share a deep interest in health care. Mr. Allen has 
made a career as a health care provider. It is a special honor to 
recognize this man because of his contributions to the greater Brooklyn 
community.
  Percy Allen II was born on April 7, 1941. In 1973 he received a B.A. 
from Oakland University and later received his M.P.A. from Cornell 
University Graduate School of Business and the Sloan Program of 
Hospital and Health Services in 1975.
  Since 1975 he has worked on the administrative staff of several 
hospitals. In 1975 after graduating, he worked as a senior assistant 
administrator at Parkview Memorial Hospital in Fort Wayne, IN. In 1982 
he served as vice president for administration at Sinai Hospital of 
Detroit, in Detroit, MI. In 1987 he came to New York and accepted the 
position of assistant vice president of hospital operations at Harlem 
Hospital. Between 1987 and 1989 Mr. Allen quickly moved up the 
administrative levels of the hospital. Currently he is employed as the 
vice president for hospital affairs and chief executive officer at the 
University Hospital of Brooklyn.
  His resume personifies service to the community and symbolizes he has 
worked hard to improve the health conditions of not only residents in 
my district, but residents throughout New York City. I rise today to 
honor Mr. Percy Allen's achievements as a health care administrator.
