CONGRATULATIONS TO RANDY HERMAN SCHENKMAN AND MARIETTA GLAZER
(Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, since September 11, every day we honor
the firefighters, police, and rescue workers who heroically gave their
lives to save others. But today, I would also like to congratulate two
South Florida women who have dedicated themselves to saving thousands
of lives in the fight against breast cancer. Dr. Randy Herman
Schenkman, former medical director of the Diagnostic Breast Cancer of
Baptist Hospital and Outpatient Services, and Dr. Mariette Glazer, a
therapist and pioneer of the first ostomy outpatient clinic at Memorial
Regional Hospital. These women of visions have dedicated their careers
to educating, imaging, and diagnosing women with breast cancer.
On Thursday, October 18, they will join the American Committee for
Weizmann Institute of Science to explore the diagnostic and emotional
aspects of breast cancer. They will share their knowledge and
commitment to taking patient care to new heights. During this difficult
time, it is inspiring to learn about the positive achievements of so
many Americans. So I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating
these brave women for distinguishing themselves as champions in the war
against breast cancer.
