                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ED PERLMUTTER

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 13, 2018

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
the Ramos Law for receiving the 2017 West Chamber of Commerce Medium 
Business of the Year Award.
  When determining what type of medicine to pursue, Dr. Joseph Ramos 
kept asking one question: ``What kind of medicine can I do that 
everyone can get, regardless of race, religion, sexual preference or 
ability to pay?'' And only one answer came to mind: emergency room 
medicine. Dr. Ramos strongly believes in inclusion, and the ER is the 
one place where a homeless man can be seen next to a gunshot victim or 
a wealthy CEO. After completing law school, Dr. Ramos began serving 
clients in the same way he treated his patients--with respect and 
inclusion.
  As a business leader, Dr. Ramos understands the importance of 
investing in and giving back to his community. He routinely lectures at 
schools, donates significant resources to his church, supports programs 
for his neighborhood as well as overseas. In addition, he supports 
multiple sports teams and scholarship programs.
  Dr. Ramos is an inspiration of how to achieve a dream with a great 
support system and a lot of hard work. He demonstrates focus, 
dedication and commitment to excellence. Regardless of the level of 
success he achieves, he's always putting people first.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to the Ramos Law for this well-
deserved recognition by the West Chamber of Commerce.
