  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Devabrata 
Ganguly of Paris, Texas, and present him with the Congressional Patriot 
Award. Dr. Ganguly has dedicated himself to faithfully serving our 
community.
  Dr. Ganguly first trained as a physician in India, his country of 
birth, where he taught medicine in New Delhi. After moving to the 
United States with his wife, Dr. Ragini Ganguly, he completed his 
residency at St. Lukes Roosevelt Hospital and Mount Sinai Hospital. Dr. 
Ganguly also attended the Jewish Parker Institute of Long Island Jewish 
Hospital for fellowship training in Geriatric Medicine. In 1999, Dr. 
Ganguly and his family moved to Texas, where he became an active 
practitioner based in Paris. Throughout his career, Dr. Ganguly has 
worked diligently to raise awareness about the opioid crisis and help 
others reduce their dependence on opioids. Moreover, he led his team of 
dedicated nurse practitioners to care for elderly patients in nursing 
homes during the pandemic.
  Separately, Dr. Ganguly mentors and teaches college students, trainee 
physicians, and nurses using a combination of traditional and modern 
medicine. He is passionate about community advocacy and often engages 
with policymakers to discuss the issues of national security, 
international and domestic policy, and healthcare issues. As a fellow 
of the American College of Physicians, Dr. Ganguly promotes community 
wellbeing and works with numerous charities to support children, 
veterans, and animals. I am pleased to recognize Dr. Ganguly for his 
outstanding efforts to provide quality care for senior citizens and 
improve the world around us.
  It is an honor to bestow Dr. Ganguly with the Patriot Award for his 
exceptional service to the people of North Texas.
