                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BRENDAN F. BOYLE

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 12, 2017

  Mr. BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
honor one of our nation's most dedicated advocates for doctors and 
patients, Dr. Ted Christopher of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional 
District, who is to be sworn in on October 14, 2017 as the 168th 
President of the Pennsylvania Medical Society.
  As a leader in emergency medicine, Dr. Christopher is the epitome of 
a physician who goes above and beyond--who uses his or her talents to 
not only serve individual patients, but also the practice of medicine 
as a whole. Not only has he been a trustee of the Pennsylvania Medical 
Society since 2011, but he has also served as president of the 
Association of Academic Chairs of Emergency Medicine, the Pennsylvania 
Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians, and the 
Philadelphia County Medical Society.
  Dr. Christopher's invaluable contributions to the field of emergency 
medicine are displayed through his robust academic research. As 
Professor and Chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the 
Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital 
in Philadelphia, he has long been a leader in his field and an 
inspiring mentor to countless students.

  I am confident that Dr. Christopher will bring his extraordinary 
skills and experience to this new position to the benefit of all 
advocates of best-practices in medical care, and represent 
Pennsylvania's doctors with honor and distinction.
  On behalf of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, I wish him 
my utmost congratulations and all the best for his coming term.
