                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                        Wednesday, June 20, 2007

  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Angel 
Rosario. Angel was born in 1960 in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated 
from John Jay High School in 1979, where he earned All-City Honors in 
baseball in 1978 and 1979. After high school, Angel played baseball at 
Long Island University

where he was named a collegiate all-star in 1982.
  In 1997, Angel graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Community 
Health from Empire State College. While working towards his degree, 
Angel became heavily involved with the New York City Department of 
Health HIV Bureau. He worked with the Bureau for 9 years, from 1990 
through 1999; he spent 7 of those years in the Managed Care field.
  Currently, Angel serves as a Marketing Director for Healthfirst which 
operates in hospitals that are under the direction of the Health 
Hospital Corporation. Angel has kept himself busy by working closely 
with his community for the past 25 years. He oversees Summer Day 
Programs, Beacon Programs and After School Programs. He works with both 
senior citizens as a Social Service Worker, and with children in a 
group home for teens. Angel says this is the type of work that makes 
him happy and encourages him to continue to involve himself with 
communities in need.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize the work of Angel Rosario, 
as his passion for helping people in need has significantly impacted 
those in his community.
  Madam Speaker, Angel Rosario's work service has continuously 
demonstrated a level of altruistic dedication that makes him most 
worthy of our recognition today.
