          CONGRATULATING THE CHINESE AMERICAN MEDICAL SOCIETY

                        HON. NYDIA M. VELAZQUEZ

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 12, 2018

  Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate the Chinese 
American Medical Society as they host their 55th Annual Scientific 
Symposium and Annual Red Lantern Gala.
  As the oldest and one of the largest Chinese American medical 
societies, CAMS provides meaningful support for Chinese American 
medical students, educates the Chinese American community on health 
issues that disproportionally impact Chinese Americans, and is a leader 
in research on the ever-changing field of medical practices and medical 
technology.
  The Chinese American Medical Society's 55th Annual Scientific 
Conference and Red Lantern Gala stands as a testament to CAMS's 
dedication to recognizing talent and hard work from skilled 
professionals who dedicate their lives to improving the health of 
others in the Chinese American community.
  I would like to specifically congratulate S. Chiu Wong as a recipient 
of the CAMS Scientific Award, as well as the Chinese American Nurses 
Association and UnitedHealthcare Asian Initiatives as recipients of the 
Community Service Awards.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in saluting the Chinese American Medical 
Society for decades of lifechanging work.
