                  TRIBUTE TO DR. GEORGE MULCAIRE-JONES

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Dr. George Mulcaire-Jones of Silver Bow County for his 
tremendous impact on lives of folks in Butte and surrounding areas.
  Dr. Mulcaire-Jones has spent over 30 years practicing medicine, each 
of which he committed to improving the health of those around him. He 
founded Maternal Life International, which goes above and beyond, to 
provide training and program development in Africa and Haiti. Over the 
course of his career, Dr. Mulcaire-Jones has also focused on addressing 
the growing issue of substance abuse among pregnant and postpartum 
moms.
  Dr. Mulcaire-Jones led the fight to address the growing drug crisis 
in pregnant and postpartum moms across Montana. Dr. Mulcaire-Jones 
directed an initiative that defines symptoms for these moms and ensures 
they receive the proper medical care. He was instrumental in a $150,000 
grant awarded to a local hospital that works to treat these moms. Dr. 
Mulcaire-Jones also worked hard to ensure that other care providers in 
the industry have the training they need to properly treat those 
patients.
  I congratulate Dr. Mulcaire-Jones on his proactive approach in 
recognizing the signs of drug abuse in pregnant and postpartum mothers. 
Through his efforts, Dr. Mulcaire-Jones has paved the way for other 
communities around Montana to combat this growing epidemic.
