  Mrs. TORRES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. James M. Lally 
for his dedicated service to the medical community in the Inland Empire 
and across the United States.
  Dr. Lally is the President and Chief Medical Officer at the Chino 
Valley Medical Center in California's 35th district where he leads by 
example and works tirelessly every single day to give back to his 
community. In my district alone, he oversees the sports medicine 
programs of four local high schools in the Chino Valley Unified School 
District; is a member of the YMCA Board of Directors; serves as medical 
director for clinics in Chino and Montclair; and serves on the Board of 
Trustees for Chino Valley Medical Center and Montclair Hospital Medical 
Center.
  Dr. Lally is also committed to educating the next generation of 
physicians, serving as a clinical professor of family medicine at 
Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine 
in Pomona, California, and at Touro University California, College of 
Osteopathic Medicine, in Vallejo.
  However, Mr. Speaker, his generous character and service reaches far 
beyond my district and the state of California. Dr. Lally is a past 
President of the American Osteopathic Association and currently serves 
on the Board of Trustees for the Association. Dr. Lally also serves as 
the team physician as well as the President of the USA Shooting Team. 
He is the Chairman of the Medical Committee of the International 
Shooting Sports Federation and a member of the International Olympic 
Medical Committee.
  Today, Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Dr. James M. Lally 
for yet another lifetime achievement. He is being honored as the 
Physician of the Year by the American Osteopathic Foundation. This 
accolade is designated to an individual whose extraordinary 
accomplishments and service bring a sense of pride to the profession 
and whose actions promote the science of medicine and the betterment of 
public health.
  For his many contributions to my community, and to the greater 
national healthcare community, I would like to recognize Dr. James M. 
Lally here on the House floor today.
