  Mrs. TORRES of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Dev 
A. GnanaDev for his decades of service as a healthcare provider in the 
Inland Empire and to celebrate the naming of the Dr. Dev A. GnanaDev 
Trauma Center at the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.
  Dr. GnanaDev started his over 40-year career serving the Inland 
Empire as a member of the medical staff at the San Bernardino County 
Medical Center, which eventually was renamed the Arrowhead Regional 
Medical Center. At Arrowhead Regional, he played a key role in the 
development of the trauma center as the Founding Director of Trauma 
Services until being appointed as the Medical Director of the Arrowhead 
Regional Medical Center in June 2000. Under his 12-year leadership, 
Arrowhead Regional Medical Center took critical steps to expand its 
patient services and physician training programs. Today, Dr. GnanaDev 
serves as the Associate Director of Medicine and the Chairman of the 
Department of Surgery at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, a position 
he has held since 1989.
  Dr GnanaDev has dedicated a lifetime to improving access to and the 
quality of health care in the Inland Empire. As the Founding President 
of the California University of Science and Medicine and as a Clinical 
Professor of Surgery at Western University of Health Sciences and the 
California University of Science and Medicine, Dr. GnanaDev has taken 
tremendous steps in addressing the physician shortage impacting our 
communities.
  This week, our community is coming together to celebrate Dr. 
GnanaDev's commitment to a healthy Inland Empire. On Thursday, May 
23rd, Arrowhead Regional Medical Center will officially be named the 
Dr. Dev A GnanaDev Trauma Center. This honor will ensure that Dr. 
GnanaDev's profound impact on our community's health and wellbeing will 
be remembered for generations to come.
  For his outstanding accomplishments, it is my honor to recognize Dev 
A. GnanaDev, M.D., M.B.A, F.A.C.S. His years of service and commitment 
to the people of the Inland Empire are worthy of the highest 
commendation.
