                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 10, 1995
  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Dr. Denis Jardine for his 
impressive career in the field of health care which began in 1948 as a 
venereal disease follow-up officer for the World Health Organization in 
Liverpool, England.
  In 1969, he started his uphill career with the Lyndon B. Johnson 
Health Complex, Inc. in Brooklyn, NY, as a community organizer. Then, 
in 1971, he was promoted to coordinator of community affairs. From 1974 
to 1976 he served as assistant vice president. Since 1976 Dr. Jardine 
has served as chief executive officer, a position which required the 
handling of many financial problems. Through hard work and 
determination, he was able to successfully pull the Lyndon B. Johnson 
Health Complex out of bankruptcy. He has entered a unification 
agreement with Interfaith Medical Center to enhance the needs of the 
community.
  During the span of his career, Dr. Jardine has received many 
commendations and awards for his years of service to the community. He 
is a member of the National Association of Health Services Executives 
Presidents' Association, American Management Association, and the 
American College of Hospitals Administrators. He is a widower and the 
father of a daughter.
  Mr. Speaker, I salute Dr. Jardine for his many years of invaluable 
service to the community.
