since September 11, every day we honor the firefighters, police, and rescue workers who heroically gave their lives to save others. But today, I would also like to congratulate two South Florida women who have dedicated themselves to saving thousands of lives in the fight against breast cancer. Dr. Randy Herman Schenkman, former medical director of the Diagnostic Breast Cancer of Baptist Hospital and Outpatient Services, and Dr. Mariette Glazer, a therapist and pioneer of the first ostomy outpatient clinic at Memorial Regional Hospital. These women of visions have dedicated their careers to educating, imaging, and diagnosing women with breast cancer. On Thursday, October 18, they will join the American Committee for Weizmann Institute of Science to explore the diagnostic and emotional aspects of breast cancer. They will share their knowledge and commitment to taking patient care to new heights. During this difficult time, it is inspiring to learn about the positive achievements of so many Americans. So I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating these brave women for distinguishing themselves as champions in the war against breast cancer.
