  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and applaud Dr. 
Wanda Bedinghaus for her outstanding service to our community.
  The dedication demonstrated by Dr. Wanda Bedinghaus directly benefits 
her community in countless ways. A Jefferson County resident since 
1992, Dr. Bedinghaus has made significant efforts to improve the health 
of individuals in the community. She founded and served as senior 
minister of Lakewood Unity Church, a center for creative spirituality, 
as well as Harmonia Center for Healing and co-founded Healing 
Unleashed.
  A pediatrician by training, Dr. Bedinghaus was recently made an 
assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado's 
Health Science Center, Department of Pediatrics. She works steadfastly 
to transform our current medical system into a true system of 
prevention and wellness.
  Currently, Dr. Bedinghaus is studying clinical nutrition in order to 
better serve the health needs of Jefferson County residents. In 
addition, Dr. Bedinghaus is bringing wellness workshops to area 
businesses, helping improve the health of their employees.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Dr. Wanda 
Bedinghaus for her recognition by the West Chamber of Jefferson County. 
I have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in 
all her future accomplishments.
