  Mr. ESPAILLAT. Madam Speaker, Nilda L. Wilson has been a longtime 
leader in the Dominican community. She was among the original co-
founders of many non-profit charities including the Dominican Medical 
Society Women's Chapter, Dominicanos Pro-Ayuda A La Ninez, and many 
more philanthropic activities supporting the community.
  Nilda L. Wilson with her husband Dr. James A. Wilson, have for over 
40 years managed and operated one of the earliest Dominican medical 
practices in Washington Heights in New York's 13th Congressional 
District.
  They were among the first Dominican medical practices in Northern 
Manhattan first established in 1966 on the corner of 178th St. & 
Audubon Ave. and remained in the same location serving the Dominican 
community through their retirement in 2006.
  Nilda L. Wilson has always felt a strong and enduring responsibility 
to care for those in need of health care especially in Washington 
Heights and Northern Manhattan. Ms. Wilson and Dr. Wilson have 
maintained and strengthened their ties to the Dominican Republic 
helping sponsor medical students and trainees coming to the United 
States.
  Nilda L. Wilson and her remarkable family have reached extraordinary 
professional success and continue to give back to the Dominican-
American community.
