                   TRIBUTE TO DR. MARSHALL SCHREEDER

  Mrs. BRITT. Mr. President, I am honored to recognize Dr. Marshall 
Schreeder, a distinguished physician, researcher, and community leader 
whose lifelong dedication to medicine has profoundly strengthened 
healthcare in the State of Alabama and beyond.
  A native of Atlanta, GA, Dr. Schreeder has practiced medicine in 
Huntsville since 1979, bringing with him an exceptional blend of 
engineering rigor, clinical excellence, and public health insight. He 
completed his undergraduate education in industrial and systems 
engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, an early foundation 
that would later shape his innovative approach to patient care and 
health systems. Dr. Schreeder earned both his masters of public health 
degree and his doctor of medicine from Tulane University, followed by 
an internship and residency in internal medicine at Emory University 
Affiliated Hospitals. He then served our Nation as a medical 
epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control, applying his 
expertise to population health and disease prevention.
  Dr. Schreeder continued his advanced medical training in Alabama, 
completing a fellowship in hematology and medical oncology at the 
University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is board certified in internal 
medicine and medical oncology and has authored more than 30 peer-
reviewed research papers and articles addressing viral hepatitis, liver 
cancer, and lung cancer. He is also certified by the Foundation for the 
Accreditation of Cellular Therapy as a qualified bone marrow transplant 
physician, reflecting the depth and breadth of his clinical expertise.
  Throughout his career, Dr. Schreeder has been a respected leader 
within the medical profession. He has served as president of the 
Alabama Society of Clinical Oncology and as president of the Medical 
Staff of the Huntsville Hospital System. He currently serves as 
chairman of the cancer committee and as a clinical associate professor 
of medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, mentoring 
future generations of physicians while advancing the standards of 
cancer care.
  As the founder and a key figure of Clearview Cancer Institute, Dr. 
Schreeder is widely credited with reengineering patient-centered 
oncology care, driving the institute's growth, and establishing high-
quality community oncology services throughout north Alabama. His 
vision has ensured that patients can receive advanced, compassionate 
cancer care close to home. In 2014, he further demonstrated his 
collaborative leadership by cofounding the Southeast Lung Alliance, 
which has successfully coordinated lung cancer screening and care among 
community practices.
  Dr. Schreeder's commitment to the community extends well beyond 
clinical practice. In May 2006, he cofounded the Russell Hill Cancer 
Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving health in 
north Alabama through support of innovative cancer research, education 
programs, and direct patient assistance. Since 2011, the foundation has 
contributed more than $5.1 million to the cancer community, and Dr. 
Schreeder continues to serve on its board of directors. In addition, he 
serves as medical director of research at Clearview Cancer Institute 
and has delivered numerous national and State presentations, 
contributing extensively to the medical literature.
  I am pleased to join my colleagues and the citizens of Alabama in 
expressing our deep appreciation to Dr. Marshall Schreeder for his 
extraordinary service, leadership, and compassion. His career 
exemplifies excellence in medicine, innovation in patient care, and an 
unwavering commitment to the well-being of his community. Dr. Schreeder 
stands as an outstanding physician and an exemplary American.
