                     HONORING DR. JAMES GLOVER SITES

                                 ______


                          HON. THOMAS M. DAVIS

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 20, 1995
  Mr. DAVIS. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise today to 
honor a man who has given so much for his community, Dr. James Glover 
Sites. Dr. Sites was born in Gladstone, VA, attended Appomattox High 
School, American University, and earned an M.D. from the George 
Washington University in 1947.
  He has been a practicing physician in many Washington area hospitals 
including Gallinger Hospital, D.C. General, and the George Washington 
University Hospital. He has authored and coauthored over 38 papers 
covering gynecology and obstetrics, been instructor, assistant 
professor, and later as chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at 
Fairfax Hospital.
  While chairman, he oversaw the growth of their OB-GYN department: 
from 3,000 deliveries in 1977 to over 9,000 deliveries in 1994. His 
vision took the department into the development of subspecialities such 
as perinatology, endocrinology, infertility, and gynecological-
oncology.
  Perhaps his greatest contributions, however, was presiding over the 
construction and opening of the Women's and Children's Center at 
Fairfax Hospital, combining total care for women, infants, and small 
children. This combined facility is one of the premier facilities of 
its type, in the country.
  On Sunday, January 20, 1995, many of Dr. Sites' friends and 
colleagues are joining with him to celebrate his many accomplishments 
and honor him.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Dr. James 
Glover Sites for his many contributions to the families of northern 
Virginia, and for future beneficiaries of his handiwork.
