  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the Association 
of Indian Physicians of Northern Ohio.
  The Association of Indian Physicians of Northern Ohio (AIPNO) is a 
non-profit organization that was founded in 1983, with the mission of 
using its united resources and knowledge for the welfare and healthier 
living of the community that they serve. The organization hosts bi-
annual Health-Fairs where member physicians volunteer their time and 
skills to those of the community free of charge. Their continued 
service to both the nation and the state of Ohio exemplify 
responsibility and civic virtue.
  In addition to their health fairs, the Association of Indian 
Physicians of Northern Ohio is a supporter of medical camps in India, 
such as the Medical and Surgical Camp of Bidada Sarvodaya Trust in 
Kachchh. These camps provide medical and surgical treatment to over 
1200 villages and impoverished areas.
  The Association of Indian Physicians of Northern Ohio runs various 
continuing education and learning programs for its members and 
students. The organization also has its own medical journal, AIPNO 
Pulse, and provides medical advice to residents of Northern Ohio 
through their contributions to Lotus, a community publication.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor of the 
Association of Indian Physicians of Northern Ohio, which works to unite 
Indian physicians in order to achieve their mission of providing their 
combined skills and knowledge for the betterment of Ohio and service to 
the community.
