  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Dr. Eugene Eisenburg for receiving the Napa Solano Medical Society's 
Lifetime Achievement Award and for his 72 years working as a physician 
in Napa County.
  The Napa Solano Medical Society's Lifetime Achievement Award is not 
granted every year. This high recognition is awarded to a few 
individuals with extraordinary compassion for their patients and who 
have been a notable mentor and role model for other physicians.
  Dr. Eisenburg has demonstrated exceptional dedication to the study of 
medicine and to quality medical care. He earned his bachelor of arts in 
medical science from the University of California (UC), Berkeley and 
his master of science in pharmacology from the UC School of Medicine in 
San Francisco. He has been employed at numerous hospitals throughout 
California over the past seven decades, most recently at Queen of the 
Valley Hospital in Napa County, where he served as medical director of 
the Diabetic Wellness Program. Dr. Eisenburg also served his country in 
the Air Force Medical Corps, earning the rank of major. In addition, 
Dr. Eisenburg has offered his endocrinology services via private 
practices and consulting. Throughout his career, he has treated 
thousands of people and even delivered 105 babies.
  Dr. Eisenburg has been an exemplary model and mentor for others in 
the medical field. From 1957 through 1990, he worked as an instructor 
and professor of clinical medicine for the UC School of Medicine. He 
spent 18 years as a clinical professor at UC Berkeley

as well. Among other honorary groups, he is an emeritus member of the 
Endocrine Society and has been a member of the California Medical 
Association for the last 69 years.
  Our district is grateful that Dr. Eisenburg dedicated the last 27 
years to serving the people of Napa County. When he first began working 
in Napa in 1995, the city and county had very few endocrinologists. 
Between his research, clinical work, and professional treatment, Dr. 
Eisenburg has helped advance endocrinology and made it more accessible 
for the residents of California's Fourth Congressional District.
  Mr. Speaker, Dr. Eugene Eisenburg has dedicated his life to ensuring 
the health and wellness of those in our community.
