                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 15, 2013

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and recognize 
John Lozier for being named a 2013 Forty Under 40 honoree by the award-
winning central Iowa publication, Business Record.
   Since 2000, Business Record has undertaken an exhaustive annual 
review to identify a standout group of young leaders in the Greater Des 
Moines area who are making an impact in their communities and their 
careers. Each year, forty up-and-coming community and business leaders 
under 40 years of age are selected for this prestigious distinction, 
which is based on a combined criteria of community involvement and 
success in their chosen career field. The 2013 class of Forty Under 40 
honorees join an impressive roster of 560 business leaders and growing.
   Dr. John Lozier literally changes the lives of young Iowans every 
day as the Pediatric Interventional Cardiologist at Pediatric 
Cardiology P.C. After receiving his Bachelor of Science in Molecular 
Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale University, John pursued and 
obtained his medical degree from the University of Iowa. Today in Des 
Moines, Dr. Lozier utilizes his highly skilled medical specialty to 
assist children by assessing and repairing a wide variety of cardiac 
conditions. Outside of Pediatric Cardiology, John is involved with 
multiple professional organizations that research cutting-edge 
techniques to treat congenital heart disease. Dr. Lozier also 
volunteers his time and expertise each year in Mexico to provide 
lifesaving medical care for children. At home, John and his wife Nicole 
are kept busy with two children of their own, Charles and Elise, with a 
third on the way. In all aspects of his life, Dr. Lozier is an example 
of service and hard work that our state can be proud of.
   Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like John 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud Dr. Lozier for utilizing his talents to better 
both his community and the great state of Iowa. I invite my colleagues 
in the House to join me in congratulating John on receiving this 
esteemed designation, thanking those at Business Record for their great 
work, and wishing each member of the 2013 Forty Under 40 class 
continued success.
