  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. George D. Vermeire 
for his exemplary medical care in Pennsylvania. In recognition of his 
dedication and involvement in the osteopathic medical profession, Dr. 
Vermeire was named the 106th President of the Pennsylvania Osteopathic 
Medical Association.
   Dr. Vermeire is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and later 
achieved his D.O. from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic 
Medicine. He completed his postgraduate training at Zieger-Botsford 
Hospitals in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and he has served as a member 
of the board of trustees. Shortly thereafter, he was elected vice 
president and president-elect of the Association. He also serves as a 
delegate of the Pennsylvania Osteopathic Medical Association and the 
American Osteopathic Association.
   He has distinguished himself as a dedicated family physician and 
leader of the osteopathic profession, and I honor all of the work Dr. 
Vermeire accomplished in our community.
   I congratulate him on his installation as the 106th President of the 
Pennsylvania Osteopathic Medical Association, and wish him the best for 
a successful and rewarding tenure.
