                        Thursday, April 26, 2012

  Mr. ROTHMAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. 
Herbert Dardik, the Chief of Vascular Surgery at Englewood Hospital, in 
recognition of his designation as honoree at the Englewood Hospital's 
2012 Gala. For more than 50 years, Dr. Dardik has demonstrated his 
abiding commitment to Englewood Hospital and to its patients.
  He served with distinction as Chief of Surgery from 1984 1995 and 
from 2000 2011, playing an instrumental role in establishing the 
surgical program's outstanding record of excellence. During his tenure, 
Dr. Dardik led pioneering efforts in the field of vascular surgery, 
developing new techniques to facilitate carotid artery surgery and the 
umbilical cord vein vascular graft, used worldwide to prevent gangrene 
and salvage lower limbs. He founded the Vascular Fellowship Program in 
1978 and has trained generations of world-class vascular surgeons.
  Today, Dr. Dardik serves as Chief of Vascular Surgery and as Senior 
Medical Director of the Hospital's Institute for Patient Blood 
Management and Bloodless Medicine and Surgery. He lives in Tenafly with 
his wife Janet.
  Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the remarkable career of Dr. 
Herbert Dardik, whose tireless efforts have benefited patients 
everywhere. I join with the grateful guests of the Englewood Hospital 
Gala, and all of my constituents in northern New Jersey, in thanking 
him for his innumerable contributions to the good health of our 
community.
