                        Thursday, April 22, 2004

  Ms. PRYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my 
congratulations to Dr. Jerauld D. Ferritto, Jr., a successful and 
respected podiatrist from my district, upon the completion of his 
tenure as President of the American Podiatric Medical Association.
  Following in the footsteps of his father, Dr. Ferritto began his 
podiatric career at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, Cleveland, 
Ohio, in 1972. In 1977 he established a practice in Grove City, Ohio.
  Dr. Ferritto's unwavering integrity, trailblazing spirit, and 
energetic quest to expand recognition for the field of podiatric 
medicine serve as a role model for countless young practitioners of 
that fine profession. His credentials include Board Certification by 
the American Board of Podiatric Surgery and by the American Board of 
Podiatric Orthopedics and Primary Podiatric Medicine. He is generous in 
his giving, and has served the profession in a myriad of ways, 
including tenure on the Council on Podiatric Medical Education and 
Medicare's Region V Carrier Advisory Committee.
  It is my honor to represent a constituent whose leadership helps 
ensure the continued mobility and independence of our citizens through 
the delivery of medically necessary and appropriate foot and ankle 
care.
