                       Tuesday, November 27, 2012

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Beth DuPree, 
a breast surgeon, oncologist and the medical director for Holy 
Redeemer's Breast Health Care Program in my home of Pennsylvania.
  Earlier this month, Dr. DuPree was honored with the inaugural Be Well 
Philly Hero Challenge. This award, presented by Philadelphia Magazine, 
honors local champions of health and wellness.
  In addition to recognizing the work of Dr. DuPree in her medical 
practice, Philadelphia Magazine has awarded The Healing Consciousness 
Foundation with a $2,500 charitable donation.
  Founded by Dr. DuPree in 2006, The Healing Consciousness Foundation 
works to improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients through 
a holistic approach which includes exercise programs, counseling and 
education services and diet coaching.
  The Be Well Philly Hero Challenge award marks the latest in a long 
line of achievements presented to Dr. DuPree throughout her career.
  Many of our families, my own included, have been affected by breast 
cancer, and it is thanks to the dedication of men and women like Dr. 
Beth DuPree that treatments are constantly evolving and improving as we 
work towards a cure.
  Congratulations again to Dr. DuPree and I wish her the best of luck 
going forward.
