TRIBUTE TO DR. MARSHALL SCHREEDER

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 36 (Tuesday, February 24, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 36 (Tuesday, February 24, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S643] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] TRIBUTE TO DR. MARSHALL SCHREEDER Mrs. BRITT. Mr. President, I am honored to recognize Dr. Marshall Schreeder, a distinguished physician, researcher, and community leader whose lifelong dedication to medicine has profoundly strengthened healthcare in the State of Alabama and beyond. A native of Atlanta, GA, Dr. Schreeder has practiced medicine in Huntsville since 1979, bringing with him an exceptional blend of engineering rigor, clinical excellence, and public health insight. He completed his undergraduate education in industrial and systems engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, an early foundation that would later shape his innovative approach to patient care and health systems. Dr. Schreeder earned both his masters of public health degree and his doctor of medicine from Tulane University, followed by an internship and residency in internal medicine at Emory University Affiliated Hospitals. He then served our Nation as a medical epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control, applying his expertise to population health and disease prevention. Dr. Schreeder continued his advanced medical training in Alabama, completing a fellowship in hematology and medical oncology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is board certified in internal medicine and medical oncology and has authored more than 30 peer- reviewed research papers and articles addressing viral hepatitis, liver cancer, and lung cancer. He is also certified by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy as a qualified bone marrow transplant physician, reflecting the depth and breadth of his clinical expertise. Throughout his career, Dr. Schreeder has been a respected leader within the medical profession. He has served as president of the Alabama Society of Clinical Oncology and as president of the Medical Staff of the Huntsville Hospital System. He currently serves as chairman of the cancer committee and as a clinical associate professor of medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, mentoring future generations of physicians while advancing the standards of cancer care. As the founder and a key figure of Clearview Cancer Institute, Dr. Schreeder is widely credited with reengineering patient-centered oncology care, driving the institute's growth, and establishing high- quality community oncology services throughout north Alabama. His vision has ensured that patients can receive advanced, compassionate cancer care close to home. In 2014, he further demonstrated his collaborative leadership by cofounding the Southeast Lung Alliance, which has successfully coordinated lung cancer screening and care among community practices. Dr. Schreeder's commitment to the community extends well beyond clinical practice. In May 2006, he cofounded the Russell Hill Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving health in north Alabama through support of innovative cancer research, education programs, and direct patient assistance. Since 2011, the foundation has contributed more than $5.1 million to the cancer community, and Dr. Schreeder continues to serve on its board of directors. In addition, he serves as medical director of research at Clearview Cancer Institute and has delivered numerous national and State presentations, contributing extensively to the medical literature. I am pleased to join my colleagues and the citizens of Alabama in expressing our deep appreciation to Dr. Marshall Schreeder for his extraordinary service, leadership, and compassion. His career exemplifies excellence in medicine, innovation in patient care, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of his community. Dr. Schreeder stands as an outstanding physician and an exemplary American. ____________________
