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:
