                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 6, 2001

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Mr. Neil J. Moore in 
recognition of his service to New York City's healthcare community.
  Neil J. Moore has spent his entire career with the New York City 
Health and Hospital Corporation since starting as a High School 
Cooperative Intern in 1979. He has established a true commitment to 
public service. Today, he is a results oriented executive with broad-
based knowledge in all areas of hospital finance. He is presently the 
Deputy Chief Financial Officer at the North Brooklyn Health Network 
which includes Woodhull Hospital and Cumberland Diagnostic and 
Treatment Center.
  He has served in numerous capacities at other Health and Hospitals 
Corporation facilities including Kings County Hospital, East New York 
Diagnostic and Treatment Center and Dr. Susan Smith McKinney Nursing 
and Rehabilitation Center.
  He received a Masters of Public Administration degree from Long 
Island University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Resources 
from St. Joseph College and has also completed studies towards an MBA 
degree. In addition, he completed an executive development program in 
Public Policy at New York University. Neil is affiliated with several 
national organizations, which includes the American College of Health 
Care Executives, The National Association of Health Services 
Executives, The National Association of Public Hospitals and the Health 
Care Finance Management Association. He volunteers his services as the 
Treasurer for the New York Chapter of the National Association of 
Health Service Executives.
  Neil provides mentorship to undergraduates and graduate students from 
the Institute of Diversity, a program designed to develop aspiring 
minority health care executives. He is also involved in the Long Island 
University mentoring program. He has conducted motivational speaking 
lectures for high school students on many occasions. His goal is to 
make a difference and to close the gap in the disparities that exist in 
healthcare by ensuring that more minority students become health care 
providers.
  Neil is married to Carol Moore. He and Carol are the proud parents of 
Oneika, Dionne and Joshua.
  Mr. Speaker, Neil J. Moore has dedicated himself to the healthcare 
and education of his community. As such, he is more than worthy of 
receiving this recognition and I urge my colleagues to join me in 
honoring this truly remarkable man.
