  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Dr. Lori A. 
Williams, who will be honored as the 137th President of the Lackawanna 
County Medical Society during its Annual Presidential Reception on 
Saturday, January 24. Dr. Williams has brought her training and 
education to the task of providing and improving health care in Eynon, 
Lackawanna County, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
  Dr. Williams is an alumnus of the University of Scranton and Hahneman 
Medical School. She completed her internship and residency at MacDill 
AFB in Biloxi, Mississippi. Dr. Williams is board certified in internal 
medicine. She served three years as a staff internist at MacDill AFB in 
Tampa, Florida. After serving as a major in the Air Force, Dr. Williams 
returned home to northeast Pennsylvania.
  Upon returning to Eynon, Dr. Williams set up a private practice where 
she has been a driving force in the Lackawanna medical community. 
Throughout her career, Dr. Williams has provided exceptional medical 
care and served as a leader in her field. An outspoken advocate for 
fellow physicians, she has served on the House of Delegates of the 
Pennsylvania Medical Society. Dr. Williams has also served as the 
Society's chief spokesperson on patient rights and quality of care 
issues.
  It is a great honor to recognize Dr. Lori Williams for her work in 
the medical field. I am grateful for her leadership and advocacy in the 
Lackawanna medical community. May she continue to achieve excellence in 
providing care to the citizens of the great Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania.
