                      REMEMBERING WILLIAM SCHUBERT

  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to remember Dr. William 
Schubert of Cincinnati, OH, for his many years of outstanding 
leadership and service to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center 
and our Greater Cincinnati community. Dr. Schubert, a Cincinnati 
native, died on February 25, 2012.
  Bill Schubert graduated from Walnut Hills High School and then went 
on to attend the University of Cincinnati. Shortly after his arrival on 
campus, he was drafted into the U.S. Navy. After his service in the 
Navy, Dr. Schubert graduated from the University of Cincinnati and the 
University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
  Bill Schubert's 33 year career at Cincinnati Children's Hospital 
Medical Center included 13 years of service as the center's president 
and chief executive officer. Under his leadership, Cincinnati 
Children's Hospital Medical Center was ranked within the top 5 best 
pediatric medical centers in our country and was also designated as a 
Level 1 pediatric trauma center. Some of his other notable career 
achievements include establishing new clinical and research divisions 
for the center and overseeing the opening of the hospital's first two 
satellite outpatient centers.
  In addition to his service to the Cincinnati Children's Hospital 
Medical Center, Bill Schubert remained active in the Cincinnati 
community through his involvement in various local and national 
organizations. In 1993, he was named a Great Living Cincinnatian by the 
Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce. He left a legacy of leadership 
and kindness, and his devotion to his community serves as an example 
for others to follow.
  I would like to remember Dr. William Schubert for his dedication to 
Cincinnati Children's Hospital and for the extraordinary impact he made 
on our community.
