ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS
______
RECOGNIZING THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION HEALTH LAW SECTION
Mr. CASSIDY. Mr. President, in 1996, the health law section of the American Bar Association was created to enhance the practice of health law and improve the understanding and development of Federal and State health laws and regulations. The members of the ABA health law section represent all aspects of the healthcare and life sciences industry, comprising a diverse group of lawyers in the private sector, government service, and academia. The health law section provides thought leadership on all issues within the healthcare industry and advocates for sound public policy. In addition, its members have played prominent roles in developing programs to train advocates for victims of breast cancer, in providing pro bono legal services to individuals through medical-legal partnerships, and in seeking improvements in the delivery of mental healthcare and treatment of substance use disorders.
I ask that the Senate recognize the tremendous accomplishments and contributions of the members of the American Bar Association health law section and extend its best wishes for many years of continued service to the healthcare and life sciences industry.
