                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Sunday, August 21, 1994

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring your attention to the 
fine work and outstanding community service of Dr. Malik Hasan of 
Pueblo, CO, who was recently awarded the Excellence in Leadership Award 
from the University of Southern Colorado School of Business.
  Dr. Hasan has more than 30 years of progressive experience in the 
health care industry, as well as financial business management. In both 
of these areas he has proven to be very successful.
  Dr. Hasan is the founder and president of Qual-Med in Pueblo, which 
is a rapidly growing and multi-optional managed care company. He 
directed and led its growth from a small local Colorado plan of 5,000 
members; and through a series of successfully integrated acquisitions 
with 6 other States, they now have a membership numbering more than 
330,000.
  To ensure Qual-Med provided high quality health care, Dr. Hasan 
recruited a strong team of very skilled and experienced managers to 
direct the company's growth and expansion. He also directed the design 
of an unsurpassed management information system, to support the 
company's physician-driven medical management approach.
  Dr. Hasan is highly intelligent, and rapidly advanced through post-
graduate studies in Pakistan and England, while practicing internal 
medicine and acquiring expertise in neurology.
  He is a member of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and 
the Royal College of Physicians of London. He was also the director of 
the Colorado Medical Society from 1980 to 1984.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me, our colleagues, Dr. Hasan's 
family, and his community in honoring this unique individual for his 
continual service to his community. Throughout the years, he has shown 
a commitment to Qual-Med, as well as the people within his community, 
and it is only fitting that the House recognize him today.
