                        Wednesday, June 27, 2007

  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Alan P. 
Mintz, M.D. who passed away on June 3, 2007.
  Born in Chicago, Alan P. Mintz graduated from the University of 
Chicago and earned a doctor of medicine degree from the University of 
Illinois--School of Medicine. Prior to his postgraduate training in 
radiology, in which he later specialized, Dr. Mintz served as a 
physician in the U.S. Navy. Dr. Mintz was a highly respected 
professional in the field of radiology and served as a Diplomate of the 
American Board of Radiology, was board certified in radiology, nuclear 
medicine and radiation therapy, and was also appointed chairman of the 
Department of Radiology for several Chicago-area hospitals.
  Motivated by his passion for health and wellness, Dr. Mintz pioneered 
a new medical specialty with his work in age management medicine. He 
has become famous within the field for his controversial promotion in 
the use of steroids and human growth hormone as an anti-aging therapy 
for patients. Dr. Mintz confounded and served as CEO and President of 
Medicon, Inc., the world's largest radiology management company. His 
inventive thinking stimulated the creation of Cenegenics Medical 
Institute, the largest age management medicine organization in the 
world. Although headquartered in Las Vegas, Cenegenics Medical 
Institute has offices in South Carolina, Florida, Hong Kong, and South 
Korea with service reaching more than 12,000 patients.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor the life and memory of Alan P. 
Mintz, M.D. Dr. Mintz lived his life according to his favorite maxim by 
Henry David Thoreau, ``Go confidently in the direction of your dreams . 
. . Live the life you have imagined.'' Dr. Mintz clearly fulfilled this 
statement and will be missed by the many lives he touched.
