  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Dr. Eysa 
Marquez-Brito, a Board Certified pediatrician practicing in beautiful 
Coral Gables.
  For over 30 years, Eysa has served the healthcare needs of countless 
children in my Congressional district.
  After graduating from medical school and completing her training in 
the field of pediatrics, neonatology and adolescent medicine, Eysa 
became Chief Resident at Nicklaus Children's Hospital, where she has 
continued to teach until this day.
  Eysa also works tirelessly outside of the exam room. She is active in 
the philanthropic community and volunteers with organizations such as 
United Way of Miami-Dade, Alfalit, Boy Scouts of America, and the 
Cancer Research Institute just to name a few.
  Mr. Speaker, I am so proud to represent individuals like Eysa, who 
has dedicated her life to serving children and by doing so has 
transformed the lives of so many in our South Florida community.
