                      TRIBUTE TO DR. BRUCE CANADAY

 Mr. FAIRCLOTH. Mr. President, I am happy to announce that one 
of North Carolina's own has been elected president of the American 
Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). As president for the 1998-
1999 season, Dr. Bruce R. Canaday, Pharm.D., FASHP will lead the 
nation's pharmacists in developing new and innovative patient care 
methods. His job will also include representing pharmacists from an 
array of varying disciplines such as hospitals, health maintenance 
organizations, long-term care facilities and home health care to name 
just a few.
  After earning his B.S. in pharmacy from Purdue University, Dr. 
Canaday went on to earn his Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the 
University of Tennessee. Dr. Canaday's previous experience include 
serving as Chair of the ASHP House of Delegates and member of the Board 
of Directors, and as president of the North Carolina Society of Health-
System Pharmacists.
  When Dr. Canaday is not teaching future pharmacists under his title--
Clinical Professor--at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 
he is working as Director of the Department of Pharmacotherapy for the 
Coastal Area Health Education Centers in Wilmington, N.C. At both the 
coastal centers and at UNC, Dr. Canaday's contributions to the field of 
pharmacy have taught pharmacy students the information necessary for 
delivering effective and efficient healthcare to those in need.
  Mr. President, if those credentials are not enough for my colleagues 
to

get a good idea of all this fine North Carolinian has done and 
continues to do, may I add that Dr. Canaday is a board certified 
pharmacotherapy specialist. As a specialist, he maintains a clinical 
practice at New Hanover Regional Medical Center in New Hanover, 
Tennessee.
  I am confident, Mr. President, that Dr. Canaday will do a fine job 
and be a successful leader for the American Pharmacy. Good leadership 
is important. And I think it is especially true today because of the 
complexity and command that healthcare and healthcare reform has in 
this evolutionary age.
  Mr. President, North Carolina continues to be blessed by the 
outstanding achievements of its men and women. The rise of Dr. Bruce R. 
Canaday to president of the American Society of Health-System 
Pharmacists is a recent example. I hope that my colleagues will join me 
in congratulating Dr. Canaday for his latest achievement.
