                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 24, 2002

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Jerome Dolan for 
his contributions in the medical field and his outstanding service to 
his community. Dr. Dolan was awarded the Louis T. Scialli Memorial 
Award on September 17, 2002, at the United Way Kick-Off, which was held 
at the Crowne Plaza in Secaucus, New Jersey.
  Born in Jersey City, Dr. Dolan graduated from St. Peter's College in 
1944. He attended NYU College of Medicine after serving in the US Navy, 
and later joined the U.S. Army Medical Corp as a Korean War Combat 
Surgeon. Upon his return home, he completed his residency in Bellevue 
Hospital's Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pathology Department.
  As an accomplished doctor, Dr. Dolan focused on the care and well 
being of others, and opened his own medical practice in 1955. He 
enjoyed a successful career in the medical field as he became Director 
of Ob/Gyn at St. Joseph's Medical Center in Paterson, NJ, before 
becoming the Medical Director of Margaret Hague Hospital in Jersey 
City.
  Dr. Dolan is a member of the American Legion, Korean War Veterans 
Association, First Cavalry Division Association, Eighth Cavalry 
Regiment Medics 1950 Survivors Association and a member of the United 
Way of Hudson County Board of Directors since 1965.
  The Louis T. Scialli Memorial Award is given in recognition of the 
spirit of community in the ``gentlemen of Hudson County.'' This award 
also symbolizes the spirit of the United Way, ``to increase the 
organized capacity of people to care for one another.''
  Dr. Dolan and his wife Marguerite May have four children, five 
grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Dr. Jerome Dolan 
for his many accomplishments in the medical field and his selfless 
contributions to our community.
