  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Kevin 
de Regnier for being inducted as the 62nd President of the American 
College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP). He is an Iowa native 
and I'm proud to recognize him today for his great achievement.
  Dr. de Regnier earned a B.A. in chemistry with a biology minor from 
the University of Northern Iowa before going on to receive his 
osteopathy degree from the University of Osteopathic Medicine and 
Health Sciences (Now Des Moines University). He completed his residency 
in family practice at Des Moines General Hospital shortly after. He 
also received his certification from the National Board of Examiners 
for Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons.
  Dr. de Regnier has served on the ACOFP Board of Governors since 2006, 
and has been an active leader in the Osteopathic medicine community for 
years. He has also been appointed by the Governor to serve on the Iowa 
Health Systems and Plans Committee of Iowa Health Regulation Task Force 
and continues to serve as an adjunct professor of family medicine at 
Des Moines University.
  Dr. de Regnier is an Iowan who has made our state proud. He has 
dedicated his life to helping and serving others and it is with great 
honor that I recognize him today. I know that my colleagues in the 
House join me in honoring his accomplishments. I thank him for his 
service and wish him and his family all the best moving forward.
