                        DR. BERNADETTE ALBANESE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ED PERLMUTTER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 16, 2021

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. 
Bernadette Albanese of the Tri-County Health Department for her 
dedication and service to the people of Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas 
Counties during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to her duties as a 
Pediatric Infectious Disease Specialist and Medical Epidemiologist for 
Tri-County Health Department, Dr. Albanese went above and beyond to 
engage, educate and inform the community about COVID-19, including by 
participating in three Telephone Town Halls with my office and 
thousands of my constituents.
  Dr. Albanese, who specializes in communicable disease control, 
outbreak investigations, disease surveillance and general health 
trends, eagerly partnered with our office to help inform constituents 
on the most up-to-date and accurate information on COVID-19. On these 
Telephone Town Halls, Dr. Albanese used her background in disease 
control and epidemiology to facilitate informed conversations with 
constituents and answer their questions during an uncertain time.
  There is no amount of recognition that can accurately display just 
how much Dr. Albanese has done for us. It is because of essential 
workers like Dr. Albanese that we have been able to make it this far in 
the pandemic. I wish her nothing but the best in the future, as we 
continue to fight against COVID-19.
