                      IN MEMORY OF DR. ALAN GREEN

                           HON. ANN M. KUSTER

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 11, 2021

  Ms. KUSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember the 
life of Dr. Alan Green, the esteemed former Chair of the Department of 
Psychiatry at Dartmouth College's Geisel School of Medicine. Dr. Green 
radiated resilience, energy, and a joy for life that carried him 
through both sickness and health until he passed away from cancer. 
Although he was diagnosed with a viral illness in 1974 that forced him 
to pause his psychiatry training for seven years, Dr. Green bounced 
back with a demonstrated passion for scientific research.
  Dr. Green dedicated his life to researching schizophrenia, substance 
misuse disorders and establishing effective programs to treat those 
afflicted. As a beloved and respected professor and mentor, Dr. Green 
is often remembered by his students and colleagues for his curiosity, 
ambition, and drive. He was relentless in his aim to improve the lives 
of others and give back to those around him. His commitment to his work 
and his students will forever inspire the Hanover community.
  I express my wholehearted appreciation for Dr. Green and his devotion 
to medicine and science. As an alumna of Dartmouth College, I am deeply 
grateful for Dr. Green's service to his students and the New Hampshire 
medical community. Although he will be profoundly missed, his memory 
will live on through the research he conducted, the treatments he 
developed, the students he taught, and the community he cared for. I 
offer my deepest condolences to his family. I wish them and the 
Dartmouth community comfort and warmth during this difficult time. May 
he rest in peace.
