  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Dr. Winston Price for his 
commitment to helping others.
  After completing his training at Cornell Medical College and New York 
Hospital, Dr. Price began practicing pediatrics in Brooklyn in 1978. He 
also served as a Medical Director for Aetna US Healthcare and for the 
Pediatric Ambulatory Department at SUNY Health Science Center in 
Brooklyn. Dr. Price is currently an Assistant Professor of Clinical 
Pediatrics at the SUNY Health Science Center in Brooklyn as well as the 
Chief Medical Consultant for V CAST II International, a medical 
information systems and technology company. He has also been a medical 
advisor and lecturer with the Cornell Cooperative Extension and New 
York Department of Social Services.
  Dr. Price sits on many committees including the Board of Trustees of 
the National Medical Association and he chairs the Informatics 
Subcommittee. He serves on a committee of the American Academy of 
Pediatrics as well as a committee of the National Committee for Quality 
Assurance. Dr. Winston Price was also appointed to the Administrative 
Review Board of the New York State Department of Health and served on 
that 5-member appellate board.
  Dr. Price has also taken a special interest in serving the needs of 
abused women and children. He has remained an active advisor to the 
parenting program of Brooklyn and serves on the Board of the National 
Committee to Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect in New York State. He also 
serves on the Committee on Proactive and Ambulatory Medicine (COPAM) of 
the American Academy of Pediatrics as well as the PPAC Committee of the 
National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). He co-authored the 
American Medical Association Guide on the Treatment and Prevention of 
Sexual Assault.
  Even with all of these commitments, Dr. Price is an active member of 
several other organizations including the Office of Professional 
Medical Conduct and the Medical Society of the State of New York.
  Mr. Speaker, Dr. Winston Price is dedicated to improving health care 
in the community. I hope that all my colleagues will join me in 
honoring this remarkable person.
