  Mr. CARBAJAL. Madam Speaker, Harris Gelberg, M.D. has been a Santa 
Barbara resident since 1978. He has served the community as a 
cardiologist for over 44 years, caring for thousands of Santa Barbara 
residents.
  He has demonstrated extraordinary dedication to his patients, many of 
whom he cared for over several decades, answering their calls at night, 
on the weekends, and over the holidays. He took the extra time to not 
only treat his patients' heart conditions, but he coordinated their 
overall health care to help them remain healthy, active, and vibrant. 
He served as Chief of the Medical Staff of Cottage Hospital and 
mentored numerous physicians. Despite his busy medical practice, he is 
devoted to Bernice, his spouse since 1971, their children, Grant and 
Laura, and their grandchildren, Sam, Jonah, Theo, and Eli. After years 
of service to the community, he has retired from the practice of 
medicine.
  This U.S. Congress honors Harris Gelberg, M.D. for his years of 
dedicated service to the people of Santa Barbara and commends him for 
his tireless efforts to improve the health and well-being of so many 
residents of our community.
