Recognizing Dr. Abraham Lieberman

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Dr. Abraham Lieberman, who just recently announced his retirement. Dr. Lieberman has been a practicing neurologist for over 50 years, working at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, for much of his career.

Dr. Lieberman dedicated his life to the treatment and eradication of Parkinson's disease, treating over 40,000 patients, including Muhammad Ali. He wrote six books on Parkinson's, including ``100 Questions & Answers About Parkinson's Disease,'' the best-selling book on that disease.

His work has done an immeasurable amount of good in furthering the treatment of Parkinson's and to help create a much greater quality of life for those who have the dreaded disease.

I am pleased that the Barrow Institute has created a way that people can honor Dr. Lieberman by setting up the Lieberman Legacy Fund so individuals can donate money towards Parkinson's research and treatment.

I wish Dr. Lieberman a long and happy retirement with his wife of 50 years, Ina, his 4 children, and 10 grandchildren.

Dr. Lieberman's pursuit to conquer Parkinson's has endeared him to his patients, with his personalized touch to each and every one of them. He has become an iconic pillar of excellence in medicine.

Your patients are so grateful. Thank you, Dr. Lieberman.
