                     Wednesday, September 21, 2011

  Mr. SIRES. Mr. Speaker, today, I am pleased to recognize Dr. Cynthia 
D. Starr and her contributions to the medical field and the New Jersey 
community. On October 29, 2011, Dr. Starr will be honored by Warren 
Hospital at their 30th annual Foundation Gala for her forty years of 
dedicated service to her community in the field of hematology and 
oncology.
  Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, Dr. Starr graduated from the Chicago 
School of Medicine prior to an internship, residency, and fellowship at 
Montefiore Hospital in Bronx, New York where she mastered internal 
medicine, hematology, and oncology. Dr. Starr then continued her career 
in private practice and as an active member on the Warren Hospital 
staff in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, where she has specialized in 
hematology and oncology for the past four decades. Additionally, Dr. 
Starr is a consulting staff member to Easton Hospital in Easton, 
Pennsylvania and a founding member of the Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice.
  During her time at Warren Hospital, Dr. Starr has served as 
Chairperson of the Warren Hospital Tumor Board and Chairperson of the 
Warren Hospital Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. She continues to 
serve as Chairperson of the Warren Hospital Cancer Committee and as a 
member of the Warren Hospital Transfusion Committee. Her recognition on 
October 29th will be the latest of several honors Dr. Starr has been 
bestowed throughout her career. She has been elected President of 
Warren Hospital Medical Staff, elected by colleagues and patients as 
Warren County Home Care Physician of the Year, and she is a recipient 
of the First Clinical Instructor of the Year Award for the Warren 
Hospital Residency Program. In 2001, Warren Hospital opened its new 
Cynthia D. Starr Breast Care Center in honor of her service to the 
hospital's field of oncology.
  It is with the highest esteem that I congratulate Dr. Cynthia Starr 
on her upcoming honor, as well as her accomplished career. Dr. Starr is 
a prime example of how one individual's dedication and service can 
positively impact an entire community.
