                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 11, 2004

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. J. Carl 
Hornberger on the occasion of receiving the Stanislaus Medical Society 
John Darroch Memorial Award for Physician of the Year. A ceremony 
honoring Dr. Hornberger will be held at the Stanislaus Medical Society 
Annual Dinner Meeting on Thursday, May 27, 2004.
  Dr. Carl Hornberger received his MD from the University of Rochester. 
He completed his Medical Internship, Residency, and Traineeship in 
Cardiology at the National Heart Institute: University Hospitals of 
Cleveland, OH. Carl has been practicing medicine for 55 years and has 
been an active Internal Medicine Physician with Gould Medical Group in 
Modesto since 1955.
  Carl's care and concern for the community and medicine are reflected 
in the wide variety of leadership roles he has held for the Stanislaus 
Medical Society and the Stanislaus Foundation for Medical Care. He has 
served as president for both boards and for the United Foundations of 
California. Carl has been chair of the bioethics committee at Memorial 
Medical Center in Modesto since 1997. Dr. Hornberger describes 
bioethics as, ``all issues regarding quality patient care. It's the 
recognition that patients are in a dependent position, they are scared, 
they don't know what is going on. Bioethics is about the realm of care 
for people who are dependent and in need of care, how you are spoken 
to, how you are treated.'' Carl says the thing about doctoring he 
enjoys most is patient contact.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. J. Carl Hornberger for his 
excellence and dedication as a physician. I invite my colleagues to 
join me in wishing Carl many years of continued success.
