  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Carol 
Winograd for her extraordinary career and to join J Street in 
recognizing her for the 2014 Tzedek v'Shalom Award for her lifelong 
dedication to tikkun olam, which means, ``repairing the world.'' Dr. 
Winograd is an emerita professor of Medicine and Human Biology at 
Stanford University and currently serves as a member on the J Street 
Executive Board.
  Born in New Jersey, Dr. Winograd received her Bachelor of Arts with 
honors in French at Wellesley College, and she attended Harvard 
University for graduate school, studying biomedical studies. She later 
received her Medical Degree cum laude from Boston University Medical 
School and attended the University of California, San Francisco, for 
her Internal Medicine and Family Medicine residencies.
  Throughout Dr. Winograd's esteemed career, she has focused her 
research on identifying predictors of decline in frail, hospitalized 
patients, and improving their function, especially mobility. Her 
professional interests include geriatric assessment, Alzheimer's 
disease, mobility, health policy, women's issues, and a comprehensive 
health and social approach to aging.
  Dr. Carol Winograd's steadfast commitment to geriatrics research is 
evident in her many professional roles on the subject. She advises 
students and teaches courses on women and aging, mobility, and 
geriatrics. She was also an Assistant Professor at the University of 
California San Francisco, and then served as Clinical Director of the 
Geriatric Research and Education Center at Stanford. Dr. Winograd 
served on the editorial board of numerous scientific journals and other 
boards. She is also a member of the steering committee of the Women 
Donors Network's Middle East Peace Circle.
  Throughout her career, Dr. Carol Winograd has received numerous 
accolades for her outstanding achievements, including the 1973 Roche 
Award for Scholarship and Character, the Malamud Prize for Excellence 
in Psychiatry and General Medicine, and was a finalist for Alwin C. 
Rambar Award for Excellence in Patient Care.
  In addition to Dr. Winograd's many contributions to her field, she 
co-authored the book, Treatments for the Alzheimer Patient: The Long 
Haul, as well as peer-reviewed more than 40 articles on functional 
impairment in hospitalized elders, mobility and geriatric assessment. 
She is also active in using art for healing, and has exhibited her 
paintings in numerous art shows.
  In 2012, Dr. Winograd co-led J Street's first Women's Congressional 
Delegation to Israel. I also co-led this educational trip with Dr. 
Winograd, and this was truly an amazing trip due to Carol's brilliance 
and experience. One year later, Dr. Winograd co-founded J Street's 
Women's Leadership Forum to increase women participation and greater 
inclusion of

Israeli and Palestinian women in peace negotiations.
  On a personal note, I always feel a lot of love, joy and optimism 
when in the presence of Carol. Her energy and her spirit inspires me to 
continue to fight the good fight. I am honored and humbled by Carol's 
friendship and proud to call her my friend.
  On behalf of the residents of California's 13th Congressional 
District, Dr. Carol Winograd, I salute you for your lifetime of service 
to the community, the nation and to the world. I commend Dr. Carol 
Winograd's dedication to promoting social justice causes and wellness 
efforts. I congratulate and thank you, for you have touched many lives 
in profound ways throughout your career. We wish you and your family 
continued prosperity and happiness.
