             HONORING THE CAREER OF KENNETH CANTER, D.P.M.

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BETTY McCOLLUM

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 28, 2010

  Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor the service of 
Kenneth Canter, Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, who recently retired 
after 32 years serving our veterans at the Minneapolis VA Medical 
Center.
  Dr. Canter received his undergraduate degree from the University of 
Maryland in College Park, Maryland and his medical degree from the 
Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine in Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania in 1972. He began his career with the Department of 
Veterans Affairs in Minneapolis in 1977 as one of the first 35 
podiatrists hired to treat our veterans. For 32 years, he worked at the 
Minneapolis VA Medical Center, retiring as Chief of Podiatry in June 
2010.
  Dr. Canter cared for Minnesota veterans with compassion and respect, 
always taking additional care to render the finest and most effective 
treatments. Aside from treating his patients, he authored scientific 
articles and mentored podiatrists who came to the VA for post-graduate 
training. Dr. Canter's dedication to outstanding medical care and 
sincere concern for our nation's veterans are the qualities of a truly 
great VA doctor, and I am proud that he is a resident of my 
Congressional District.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring Dr. Kenneth Canter for his 
distinguished 32 years of service to Minnesota veterans.
