     RECOGNIZING DIALOGUE ON DIVERSITY'S 2006 HEALTH CARE SYMPOSIUM

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. HILDA L. SOLIS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 7, 2006

  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, as Democratic Co-Chair of the Congressional 
Caucus for Women's Issues, I rise today to congratulate Dialogue on 
Diversity for its 2006 Health Care Symposium. I am proud to recognize 
the Dialogue's effort to inform and educate the public about the 
importance of an effective preventive health care system.
  Dialogue on Diversity, founded in 1989, is committed to improving the 
economic and social condition of women in the U.S. and around the 
world. Its programs bring together multi-ethnic women for a worldwide 
interchange on concerns of vital importance to the world's women and 
their families.
  Today, our health care system is not meeting the needs of all people, 
particularly in racial and ethnic minority communities where health 
disparities continue to grow. Discussions and symposiums like Dialogue 
on Diversity's 2006 Health Care Symposium will help to address these 
important issues.
  Again, I want to commend the Dialogue on Diversity for its 2006 
health care event and wish them the best of luck in the future.
