  Mr. VARGAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor David R. Green for his 
outstanding and invaluable service to the community, his service to the 
United States of America, and congratulate him on his retirement.
  David R. Green began his healthcare administration services career in 
1974. During his 40-year career he served as chief executive officer at 
seven Southern California hospitals and was an administrator of five 
different skilled nursing facilities. Additionally, David R. Green 
served on a number of healthcare boards, including but not limited to, 
the California Hospital Association Board and CHA Rural Hospitals 
Board.
  During David R. Green's tenure at the El Centro Regional Medical 
Center (ECRMC), which began in 2003, officials completed construction 
of a two-story, 60-bed addition consisting of a state-of-the-art 
Intensive Care Unit. He also expanded the emergency department, 
surgical suites and outpatient services with the acquisition of the 
Oncology/Hematology of Imperial Valley clinic and the Imperial Valley 
Wound Healing Center, and the hospital's laboratory underwent an 
extensive renovation.
  David R. Green has exhibited dedication to ECRMC's patients and staff 
and commitment to expanding and improving healthcare services in 
Imperial County the last eleven years. I applaud David R. Green for his 
distinguished service to California, the Imperial Valley community, 
California's 51st Congressional District, and the nation.
