           RECOGNIZING DAVID OLIKER'S THIRTY YEARS OF SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM REED

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 6, 2013

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate David W. Oliker's 30 
years as President and Chief Executive Officer of MVP Health Care. Mr. 
Oliker has been a successful and steadfast advocate for improved health 
care and economic prosperity in my Congressional district, but will be 
retiring during this calendar year.
  Through Mr. Oliker's efforts, MVP Health Care has become a leader in 
the promotion of wellness and health education in our communities as a 
vehicle to lower health care costs and drive collective well-being. As 
a non-profit organization, MVP Health Care demonstrates what a truly 
successful public-private partnership looks like.
  Advancing our nation's educational system has also been a priority of 
Mr. Oliker's. He has served on multiple boards, including the Advisory 
Council of Union Graduate College and the Albany College of Pharmacy. 
His hard work has ensured that generations to come will be well 
prepared for the future.
  It has been an honor and a privilege to work with Mr. Oliker and I 
wish him the best in his retirement. The health care system in the 
Northeast will not be the same without him.
