  Mr. OBERNOLTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Javier M. 
Sanchez as he completes his term as the 130th President of the San 
Bernardino County Medical Society. He began this leadership position 
representing over 1,700 physicians on June 22, 2022. Dr. Sanchez is a 
family medicine physician partner of the Southern California Permanente 
Medical Group practicing at their Redlands medical offices. He received 
his medical degree from the University of lowa Roy J. & Lucille A. 
Carver College of Medicine in 1996 and completed his residency in 
family medicine.
  Dr. Sanchez has been focused on addressing disparities in medicine 
and helped develop the Southern California Kaiser Permanente Language 
Concordance Program which helps match those with limited English 
proficiency with physicians who are fluent in their first language. He 
has been a Clinical Professor of family Medicine at the Keck School of 
Medicine and is currently an Associate Professor of Family Medicine at 
the University of California Riverside School of Medicine. I commend 
Dr. Sanchez for his service as President of the San Bernardino County 
Medical Society and remain thankful for the work of all of our medical 
professionals in California's 23rd District and across the country.
