                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DORIS O. MATSUI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 4, 2019

  Ms. MATSUI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the UC Davis 
Women's Cardiovascular Medicine Program as they celebrate their 14th 
Annual Women's Heart Care Forum. As community organizations and 
supporters of this program gather today, I ask my colleagues to join me 
in honoring their commitment to the promotion of women's heart health 
in the Sacramento region and its surrounding areas.
  For 25 years, the UC Davis Women's Cardiovascular Medicine Program 
has received national recognition as the first women's heart program in 
the country. Under the leadership of Program Director Amparo 
Villablanca, doctors and nurses at the Women's Cardiovascular Medicine 
Program have continued to provide comprehensive treatment, education, 
outreach and research, benefitting women throughout our region. The 
program's exceptional commitment to women's heart health has empowered 
women by providing knowledge of how to decrease their risk factors for 
heart disease and pursue healthier lifestyles.
  Madam Speaker, as community organizations, staff and supporters 
gather at the forum to raise awareness about heart disease, I ask all 
my colleagues to join me in honoring the UC Davis Women's 
Cardiovascular Medicine Program for their years of service dedicated to 
advancing women's heart health.
