                       Thursday, October 26, 2017

  Mr. ROTHFUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Neil 
Capretto, Medical Director of Gateway Rehabilitation, for his 30 years 
of service to the Beaver County community.
  Dr. Capretto graduated from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic 
Medicine and went on to serve as chief resident in psychiatry at St. 
Francis General Hospital before settling in Western Pennsylvania.
  As an expert in the study of addiction, he has written scholarly 
articles and served as a medical commentator and consultant to both 
local and national media networks.
  Today, he serves as an innovator in the field of pain management and 
a leader in the fight against the opioid epidemic.
  Not only is Dr. Capretto incredibly knowledgeable, but he continues 
to display exemplary patience and kindness, even amidst his battle with 
cancer.
  I'd like to thank him for his 30 years of service and let him and his 
family know that we are praying for speedy recovery in this difficult 
time. God bless.
