Carolyn B. Maloney: “Additionally, Ms. LoPresto has been a District Leader in Astoria, Queens for many years.”

The teaching hospitals are the 'safety net' hospitals that care for the nation's low-income and uninsured patients when they are sick and have nowhere else to turn.

I salute Mr. Savas Tsivicos and the work of the officers and friends of the Panpaphian Association of America.

The Panpaphian Association was founded in 1987, by a group of Cypriot-Americans of Paphian ancestry in order to encourage and help promote awareness of the customs and traditions of the region of Paphos and Cyprus.

It is a vital philanthropic organization concerned with education, the health and well-being of students from the United States and Cyprus, and the liberation of Cyprus from the Turkish invasion of 1974.
