                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 9, 2022

  Miss RICE of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. 
Shetal Shah, MD, FAAP, for his advocacy on the behalf of New York's 
children and for his many years serving as a resource to my office.
  A noted pediatrician, neonatologist, and researcher, Dr. Shah has 
tirelessly fought to protect the well-being of children. He has 
promoted increased funding for childhood vaccinations and children's 
hospitals and improving the Medicaid and CHIP programs to ensure 
children always have access to the care they need. He is a voice for 
his fellow doctors, and his efforts will help guarantee that medical 
school graduates continue to pursue careers in pediatrics and pediatric 
subspecialties in underserved communities.
  Dr. Shah has also played a critical role in promoting public health 
throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by hand-delivering protective 
equipment to doctors across Long Island. His determination provided 
children in our communities with the critical care they needed.
  In New York, and across the country, we are incredibly fortunate to 
have people like Dr. Shah, whose work ensures that our children grow 
into healthy adults. I would like to commend Dr. Shah for his 
commitment to public health and to the children of New York's Fourth 
Congressional District.
