                       Tuesday, November 2, 1999

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Maxine C. Brown-Reid, a 
leader in healthcare.
  As Deputy Executive Director at Kings County Hospital Center, Ms. 
Brown-Reid is responsible for Network Ambulatory Care Services, Managed 
Care and Community Health. Her areas of responsibility include the 
hospital's clinics and Emergency Departments (except Behavioral Health 
Services), the East New York Diagnostic and Treatment Center, ten 
Family Health Services Clinics and the Flatbush Health Center, the 
newest off-site facility.
  Ms. Brown-Reid began her tenure with Kings County Hospital Center in 
1982 as an Administrative Resident to the Executive Director. At the 
end of the one year program, she was appointed as Assistant Director 
for Pediatric Outpatient Services, followed by a promotion to Associate 
Director of Maternal and Child Health Services, Outpatient.
  After seven years at Kings County Hospital Center, Ms. Brown-Reid 
relocated to Jacksonville, Florida, where she was the first black 
Administrator for Emergency Services at University Medical Center. Upon 
her return to New York, Ms. Brown rejoined the Network family by 
accepting a position as Deputy Executive Director at the East New York 
Diagnostic and Treatment Center, and while there she was promoted to 
her current Network position.
  Ms. Brown-Reid received her undergraduate degree from Fordham 
University and her MPA from New York University. She is also a member 
of the American College of Healthcare Executives and the American 
Hospital Association's Society for Ambulatory Care Professionals.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like you and my colleagues from both sides of 
the aisle to join me in honoring Ms. Maxine C. Brown-Reid.
