  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Dr. Olive Jack's tremendous commitment to the health and well being of 
the citizens of the Napa community. Dr. Jack has served admirably in 
many health care roles and has been a tremendous success in every one.
  We can all look to Dr. Jack as a true role model for serving the 
public selflessly and tirelessly. Currently, Dr. Jack is serving on the 
Napa County Commission on Aging, the Napa-Solano Area Agency on Aging, 
and is membership chair of the Napa Association of Retarded Citizens 
Board. She is also a member of the Board and Executive Committee of 
ALDEA, an agency that operates residential treatment programs for 
disturbed teenagers.
  Dr. Jack began her long career in public service in the Napa area 
when she started as the School Physician for Napa County Superintendent 
of Schools and as a consultant to Napa County Health Department, in 
charge of Child Health Conferences. Following her success working with 
the school district, Dr. Jack served five years as Director of Health 
Services for the County of Napa.
  Previous to her career in public service, Dr. Jack served her 
internship and residency at

the Children's Hospital in San Francisco. Following this, she practiced 
pediatric medicine privately in Napa as a Licentiate of the American 
Board of Pediatrics.
  The California Medical Association, the Napa County Medical Society, 
and the Northern California chapter of Academy of Pediatrics are all 
privileged to have Dr. Jack a professional member. She holds a Bachelor 
of Science degree from University of Nebraska, Lincoln, a Master of 
Public Health from University of California, Berkeley, and has her M.D. 
from Temple University School of Medicine.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to honor Dr. Olive Jack on the occasion 
of the Napa-Solano Area Agency on Aging's tribute to her outstanding 
career of public service. Please join me in recognizing Dr. Jack's 
unparalleled work towards improving the health care of the citizens of 
Napa.
