  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Mr. William F. Green for 
his commitment to health care.
  Mr. William F. Green has spent almost 35 years of creating, 
implementing and enhancing medical programs and services for the 
underserved. After a distinguished tour of duty in the United States 
Marine Corps, Mr. Green pursued an undergraduate degree in sociology. 
Recognizing the need to strengthen and integrate health care and 
business systems, he later obtained Masters Degrees in both business 
and social work.
  He has also held many Executive Health Care Administrator positions 
in various hospitals including St. Mary's Hospital, St. John's 
Hospital, and the Interfaith Medical Center. He was named Vice-
President of Ambulatory Services at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center and 
later took the position of Vice-President of External Affairs and 
Government Relations.
  Mr. Green is a member of many professional associations such as the 
American College of Hospital Administrators, National Association of 
Black Health Executives, and the Royal College of Health 
Administrators.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. William F. Green is devoted to improving community 
health and advancing the health profession. I hope that all my 
colleagues will join me in honoring this remarkable person.
