  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Albert F. 
Giallorenzi who was named the Scranton Chapter of UNICO's ``UNICAN of 
the Year,'' and will be recognized on February 27, 2016 during their 
Annual Ball.
  Dr. Giallorenzi is a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross and 
the University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry. Following dental 
school, he interned at the Philadelphia General Hospital and was an 
oral and maxillofacial surgical resident at Hahnemann Medical College. 
Dr. Giallorenzi maintained a private practice for forty years in 
association with Drs. Christopher Kotchick, Mark Giallorenzi, and 
Justin Burns, with offices in Scranton, Carbondale, and Tobyhanna. In 
2013, Dr. Giallorenzi retired from his practice.
  Licensed in Pennsylvania for dentistry, Dr. Giallorenzi held 
memberships in a wide variety of professional associations including 
Chief of Service at Mercy Hospital for thirty-seven years, President 
and later Chairman of the Scranton Dental Society, Chairman of the 
United Way Dental Division, and member of the Advisory Committee to the 
American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. In addition, Dr. 
Giallorenzi served as an Examiner for Board Certification for the 
Committee of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, and he volunteered his time 
with the Pennsylvania Department of Welfare, Jewish Federation Indigent 
Dental Clinic, Third District Dental Society Board of Governors, 
Pennsylvania Dental Association, and on the dental staff of St. 
Michael's School for Boys.
  Dr. Giallorenzi has received both Diplomate and Fellow Honors from 
the American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, American College of 
Dentists, American Dental Society of Anesthesiology, the American 
Dental Board of Anesthesiology, International College of Dentists, and 
the Pierre Fauchard International Dental Honor Society. In addition, he 
contributed articles to the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, Journal of 
Oral Surgery and Oral Health, and was an editor for the Bulletin of the 
Scranton District Dental Society.
  Today, Dr. Giallorenzi is an active participant in the community, 
including volunteering service to the American Cancer Society, St. 
Gregory's Church, Clarks Green, Cub Scout Pack 152, Abington Junior 
Soccer League, Waverly Community House, and the Holy Cross Club of 
Northeastern Pennsylvania. Dr. Giallorenzi also serves on the Board of 
the Scranton Chapter of UNICO National. He is married to the former 
Diane Valera, and they have two adult children, Dr. Mark A. Giallorenzi 
and Christina Giallorenzi.
  It is a distinct honor to recognize Dr. Albert F. Giallorenzi for his 
superb service to his profession and community, and I congratulate him 
on being named Scranton UNICO's ``UNICAN of the Year.''
