  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I proudly rise to acknowledge 
the extraordinary achievements of Dr. Liveleen M. Gill who is 
recognized by the Asian American Physician Association (AAPA) as the 
Physician of the Year. AAPA is a not-for-profit organization comprised 
of 100 doctors of Indian origin. Their efforts help to utilize their 
expertise as physicians to serve the community by holding free health 
fairs and enabling inner-city students the opportunity to experience 
the many medical advancements in today's practice.
   Dr. Gill's passion for medicine started a world away in India where 
she excelled in biology-related coursework. She was a gold medalist on 
her Higher Secondary Exam and she went on to complete an M.B. B.S. 
curriculum at Delhi University. Prior to the start of an internship, 
Liveleen met Harbinder Singh Gill who was visiting India from the 
United States. History took its course and Liveleen joined Harbinger 
overseas in America.
   Dr. Liveleen Gill represents the best of the Western New York 
community. Dr. Gill wasted no time in becoming a diligent practitioner 
of medicine, starting her residency in Internal Medicine at Millard 
Fillmore Gates Circle. Although a relatively unknown physician at the 
time, Dr. Gill's medical skills quickly won her the respect and 
admiration of her colleagues. Dr. Gill went on to a rotation at Roswell 
Park Cancer Institute and because of her hard work and expertise, she 
earned a fellowship. Dr. Gill established herself in the community by 
creating her own practice starting in a series of part-time, rented 
office spaces and growing that into her private practice which contains 
several examination rooms, an infusion room, nursing, billing and 
administrative staff.
   Dr. Gill is Board Certified in Medical Oncology and Internal 
Medicine earning her New York State Medical License in 1982. She 
belongs to the AAPA and the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Dr. 
Gill's practice thrived thanks to her impressive clinical skills, her 
conservative approach to treatment and the many wonderful relationships 
she developed in the field. On top of her tremendous professional 
success, Dr. Gill is also the proud mother of 2 grown children Jay and 
Sabrina.
   Mr. Speaker, I thank you for allowing me to take a few moments to 
recognize Dr. Liveleen M. Gill. Her story of success showcases the 
vibrant and talented immigrants we have here in Western New York who 
work tirelessly to support our diverse community. I am honored to 
recognize the many wonderful contributions that Dr. Liveleen Gill has 
made to the medical field and thank her for the great care she has 
shown so many fellow Western New Yorkers.
