                       Tuesday, February 15, 2022

  Mr. LIEU. Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate the life of Mr. John C. 
Law, who passed away on January 20, 2022. John, a resident of the City 
of Santa Monica, was a beloved husband, father, and champion of 
affordable, high-quality health care.
  John dedicated his life to serving others and was a generous 
philanthropist in the Los Angeles community throughout his time on the 
Board of Directors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, which he joined in 
1997. He loved Los Angeles for its dynamism and diversity, and it was 
of great importance to him that the board of an esteemed medical 
institution like Cedars-Sinai reflected this. During his tenure serving 
Cedars, John championed efforts to bring women and people of color on 
to the Board of Directors and to better the health and well-being of 
the Los Angeles community. As President of the Los Angeles Free Clinic, 
he worked to improve health care quality, access, and outcomes for 
underserved communities in the region.
  John contributed to health care causes and research not only through 
sweat equity but also through his tremendous generosity. John and his 
wife made their first gift to Cedars-Sinai in 1992 and contributed 
frequently to its prostate cancer research and health care leadership 
funds. An accomplished businessman, he served as president of the Los 
Angeles County Capital Asset Leasing Corporation and as the Co-Managing 
Director of Warland Investments, a property development and management 
company. Before his time in Los Angeles, John resided in Washington, 
D.C., where he co-founded Bendixen and Law, a family attorney 
professional corporation in operation for over 40 years.
  John is survived by his loving wife, Hope Warshaw and their son, John 
Law-Warshaw. He had an amazing spirit that was dedicated to serving his 
family and especially those most in need. He will be greatly missed by 
his friends, family, and all who know him.
