  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, with health care in our 
nation at the forefront of many discussions, it gives me great pleasure 
to rise today to honor a notable health care provider, Ms. Eileen 
Breen. I find it befitting to acknowledge those who help improve the 
quality of health care in our country.
  Ms. Breen moved from New York City, New York in 1991 to serve 
medically underserved populations in the Mississippi Delta. Ms. Breen 
has serviced Tallahatchie County, Mississippi as a Nurse Practitioner 
for over eighteen years. She has worked in various clinics throughout 
the county, including those in Glendora and Tutwiler Mississippi, two 
of Mississippi's most underserved communities. Ms. Breen is well known 
in the community for treating patients regardless of their access to 
health care insurance. She has been instrumental in bringing to the 
forefront awareness of crippling health issues affecting Mississippi 
and is a pillar in her community.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask our colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. 
Eileen Breen for her commitment to improving health care throughout the 
Mississippi Delta.
