     A QUARTER CENTURY OF HEALTH CARE SERVICE TO THANKFUL PATIENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEPHEN HORN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 18, 1998

  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, Long Beach, California, has been blessed with 
several quality medical centers. Led by physicians who have dedicated 
their lives to the health of this community, this city has been at the 
forefront of medical research and healthcare delivery. On May 22nd, the 
Long Beach Medical Association will honor physicians who have served 
with distinction for twenty-five years.
  As Long Beach business has grown, so has a stable residential 
environment. Long Beach has futuristic medical centers led by 
physicians and healthcare executives who have created a solid base in 
research and service.
  Four decades ago, Long Beach was also an embryo of the managed care 
industry. Ideas were encouraged to flow and mature into reality. Those 
who thought there might be a better way were encouraged.
  A quarter of a century sometimes seems only a few years ago. With 
modern medicine, it is a long time. The physicians being honored have 
been awakened from quiet dreams, deserted many a hot dinner, deferred 
family vacations, and ignored sunny days to serve their patients 
unselfishly. These Long Beach physicians have been available regardless 
of weather, holiday, or time of day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year--
relentless in their devotion to their patients and their patients' 
families. The persistent and professional dedication of these doctors 
is helping advance excellent healthcare into the 21st century.
  The community and their patients are forever indebted to these 
accomplished professionals:
