                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 11, 2018

  Ms. MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM of New Mexico. Mr. Speaker, I rise today 
to honor Dr. Steven Williams, one of Albuquerque's leading HIV 
physicians and researchers, who will retire this year after more than 
two decades of serving our community.
  In the early 1990s, the Albuquerque community had few doctors who 
were willing and able to take on patients with HIV. That was until Dr. 
Williams organized a team of physicians and nurses at the University of 
New Mexico Hospital to provide those diagnosed with the virus with 
emotional support, testing, and survival education. Over time, Dr. 
Williams built this practice into an outstanding specialty clinic 
within the hospital called the Truman Clinic. In addition to providing 
high quality medical care, Dr. Williams and his team have also 
supported fundraising and provided guidance to local organizations 
supporting HIV patients.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of New Mexico's First Congressional District, 
I want to thank Dr. Steven Williams for his years of service to our 
community, and congratulate him on his well-deserved retirement. We 
wish him nothing but the best in all his future endeavors.
