                    RECOGNIZING DR. PAMELA CARBIENER

  (Ms. KOSMAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KOSMAS. Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct honor and privilege to 
recognize on the floor of the United States House of Representatives 
Dr. Pamela Carbiener for her extensive community service and spirit of 
volunteerism.
  Dr. Carbiener has dedicated her life's work to helping those in need, 
with a particular focus on women and children. She is the cofounder and 
member of the Community Outreach to Prevent Eating Disorders, medical 
supervisor for the Children's Advocacy Center for Victims of Assault, 
medical supervisor for the Volusia County Rape Crisis Center, and board 
and coalition member for Healthy Start of Volusia and Flagler Counties. 
She also serves as the chair of Daytona State College's Women's 
Advocacy Board.
  Dr. Carbiener practices at Halifax OB/GYN Associates in Daytona 
Beach, Florida, and she resides in nearby Ormond Beach with her 
husband, Frank, and their three children, Sarah, Katie, and Charlie.
  Dr. Carbiener's contributions to Halifax Health and their board of 
directors, which is the governing body of the largest health care 
provider in the area, are numerous, generous, and valuable.
  Today I would like to officially thank Dr. Carbiener for her tireless 
work and dedication to the health, well-being, safety, and care not 
only of her patients, but also to the countless citizens who are 
affected by her volunteerism and her work in the community. She is 
recognized as an accomplished and outstanding community leader for the 
greater Halifax region. Congratulations, Dr. Carbiener.
