                        Tuesday, August 23, 2011

  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition 
of community member Dr. Robert L. Moore for his 16 years of work with 
Clinic Ole, in Napa, California.
  Dr. Moore studied at the University of California-Berkeley, where he 
majored in biochemistry. He later went on to earn a Master's degree in 
Public Health from Columbia University and a Medical degree from the 
University of California San Francisco Medical School.
  In 1995, two years after graduating medical school, he joined Clinic 
Ole, a small non-profit clinic which served 4,000 patients a year at 
the time. In 1998, Dr. Moore was given the position of Medical Director 
and the clinic had expanded its capacity to serve 15,000 patients 
annually. Since then, Clinic Ole has continued to experience rapid 
growth due to Dr. Moore's leadership and tireless commitment to provide 
compassionate and high quality health care. He was the driving force 
behind the clinic's implementation of electronic health records and the 
re-engineering of patient visits, which allows the clinic to provide 
same-day or same-week appointments for all patients, which now number 
more than 22,000 each year.
  Dr. Moore has served on the Board of Directors of Healthy Moms and 
Babies, and is the Medical Director for Redwood Community Health 
Coalition, a coalition of community health centers across northern 
California. Over the years, his passion for community health has led 
him to win several awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award 
from the Napa County Hispanic Network in 2008 and the Hero Award from 
the California Primary Care Association in 2009.
  Dr. Moore is being recognized for his many achievements in providing 
high quality health care to Napa County residents, and for his role as 
a dedicated teacher and mentor to the Clinic Ole staff.
  Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate at this time that we acknowledge Dr. 
Robert L. Moore for his 16 years of devoted service to the Napa Valley 
Community.
