Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize Dr. Ismael Hernandez and his wife Alma for 25 years of service to the community. The first Pasteur clinic was opened on June 17. 1967. in the city of Hialeah and its primary focus was the recently arrived Cuban refugees. Two years later. the Pasteur clinic expanded by opening its first pediatric clinic to serve not only Hialeah. but greater Miami as well. These clinics brought with them a concept that had been used back in Cuba. In Cuba. clinics were set up to serve the poor of the island. The poor could join the clinic for a set fee and receive medical care when needed.
