                      TRIBUTE TO DR. SUBHASH SAHAI

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 23, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 2008 Iowa 
Family Physician of the Year, Dr. Subhash Sahai of Webster City, Iowa. 
Subhash was selected for the honor by the Iowa Academy of Family 
Physicians (IAFP).
  Subhash began practicing medicine in January 1976 after receiving his 
medical degree from the University of Iowa and completing his residency 
at Broadlawns Hospital in Des Moines. He began his small practice in 
Webster City and was later joined by his wife, Dr. Sushma Sahai, and 
his brother, Dr. Anil Sahai. His practice grew and expanded over the 
years with the addition of other healthcare professionals and services. 
He is being honored for ``his distinguished qualities, recognized 
leadership in his profession and contribution to his community,'' 
according to Dr. Doug Martin, the president of the IAFP.
  I consider it a great honor to represent Dr. Subhash Sahai in the 
United States Congress. The expertise he brings to Central Iowa is 
certainly valued and I wish Subhash the best as he continues serving 
Iowa and Webster City.
