                     TRIBUTE TO DR. RICHARD JANEWAY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. W.G. (BILL) HEFNER

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 25, 1996

  Mr. HEFNER. Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct honor to recognize Dr. 
Richard Janeway and his work in medical education. As of July 1997, Dr. 
Janeway will relinquish his seat as executive dean of health affairs 
for Wake Forest's Bowman Gray School of Medicine. As the school merges 
with its affiliate hospital, North Carolina Baptist Hospital, Dr. 
Janeway will serve on the steering committee to insure a smooth 
transition. In addition, he will bring his considerable expertise to 
the newly endowed position of distinguished professor of health care 
management at Wake Forest University.
  Looking back on Dr. Janeway's career is like looking through a 
kaleidoscope of academic and civic contributions. Examples of his civic 
activities include chairman of the Greater Winston-Salem Chamber of 
Commerce, vice-chairman of the Forsyth County Development Council and 
member of the board of North Carolina Citizens for Business and 
Industry. Also, Dr. Janeway was integral in the creation of a planned 
downtown research park, which now houses Bowman Gray's Department of 
Physiology and Pharmacology as well as facilities for Winston-Salem 
State University and the Piedmont Triad Engineering Research Center.
  An important part of Dr. Janeway's work at Bowman Gray has been to 
focus research on how nutrition can prevent or manage chronic disease. 
The mission of the Center for Research on Human Nutrition and Chronic 
Disease Prevention has been to educate patients about the importance of 
nutrition and diet and to promote preventive health care. It is in this 
capacity that I have gotten to know Dr. Janeway and it has been my 
privilege to work with him and his colleagues in the development of 
this important nutrition research facility.
  Dr. Janeway is credited with ensuring that Bowman Gray keeps pace 
with the rapid advances in technology. The recently announced Wake 
Forest/Bowman Gray nutrition web site is an incredible tool for sharing 
the information gathered by the center with the public. Users may 
design and track a personalized guide to good nutrition and exercise.
  On behalf of many of my colleagues in the House, I would like to 
thank Dr. Richard Janeway for his unending quest for excellence in the 
field of medical education. Wake Forest University's Bowman Gray School 
of Medicine has benefited enormously from his foresight and dedication 
to improving our Nation's medical education, and consequently, our 
Nation's health. He is a great personal friend and I want to wish him 
well in his latest pursuits on behalf of Bowman Gray School of 
Medicine.
