                     HONORING FAITH AND HARRY FEDER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 13, 2007

  Mr. ENGEL. Madam Speaker, health care has never been more important, 
or more complex, in the United States than it is today. An efficiently 
functioning health care system requires many contributors, perhaps 
especially evaluation and quality improvement.
  Harry Feder is a senior vice president and chief operating officer of 
IPRO, one of the Nation's largest and most experienced health care 
evaluation and quality improvement organizations, and the man 
responsible for ensuring that necessary and appropriate care is 
provided across the continuum of care.
  Faith Feder is well known for her commitment to education, her 
abiding concern for the elderly and the care of the needy. As part of 
her commitment to education, she has served as both the Treasurer and 
President of the SAR Academy, where she led a parent body of its 600 
children. In addition, she has been involved in numerous communal 
causes that treat the uninsured and assist the elderly. She is a 
founder and treasurer of Foremost Home Care.
  Harry has in-depth knowledge of processes and issues surrounding the 
monitoring and assessment of the Medicare and Medicaid programs. He has 
extensive knowledge and a national perspective on programs dealing with 
Utilization Review, Quality Improvement, Managed Care, Long-Term Care, 
Fraud and Abuse, and Independent Review of Appeals.
  He was awarded a Masters Degree in Public Administration from New 
York University Graduate School of Public Administration and is a 
lecturer in the Department of Health and Epidemiology at the Albert 
Einstein College of Medicine as well as on the faculty of the New York 
University School of Continuing Education.
   Those are some of Harry's and Faith's accomplishments and just a few 
of the reasons that they are being honored by the Riverdale Jewish 
Center. For me, however, it is not only these accomplishments, but 
their being my close and dear friends for so many years that makes them 
so special.
