                         Monday, April 16, 2012

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Frederick Lippman, 
whose more than two decades as a pharmacist and community leader have 
had a monumental impact on students, medical professionals, academics, 
and the underserved in South Florida. I applaud his long career of 
service, and I am honored to represent him in Washington.
  Frederick Lippman has served the people of South Florida as a 
pharmacist for over 20 years, but his contributions to our community 
reach far beyond the scope of daily patient care. Dr. Lippman served in 
the Florida House of Representatives for two decades, during which time 
he was a strong advocate for increasing educational opportunities and 
expanding health care access, particularly for children. His numerous 
awards and accolades include being named ``Outstanding Health Services 
Person of South Florida'' in 1995 by the University's Institute of 
Health Policy and Administration, ``Child Advocate of the Year'' in 
1996 by the Florida Pediatric Society, and ``Outstanding Advocate'' in 
1997 by the Institute of Holocaust Documentation at Florida 
International University for his leadership in adopting Holocaust 
educational curricula in the state of Florida.
  In 1985, Dr. Lippman was instrumental in helping to create the State 
of Florida's Area Health Education Center Program (AHEC), which 
improved the supply and distribution of primary health providers in 
rural and urban areas by creating partnerships with academic health 
centers. And as the current Chancellor of the Health Professions 
Division of Nova Southeastern University, Dr. Lippman has helped the 
university develop a strong research infrastructure, which has led to 
an increase in funding, and broader opportunities for undergraduate 
researchers.
  Dr. Lippman's work has undoubtedly made South Florida a place where 
families can grow and thrive. It is an honor to represent him the 
United States Congress, and I look forward to his continued good work 
for years to come.
