  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two amazing men 
who have served Bates County for over fifty years as medical 
professionals. Dr. William Haynie and Dr. Curtis Long are loved and 
respected by all and have made an amazing difference in the lives of 
thousands of families in Missouri's 4th District.
  Dr. Haynie began his career at Bates County Memorial Hospital in 
1964. He has been a very active member of the medical staff and many 
committees within the hospital. He supervised the Laboratory, Medical/
Surgery, and Rehabilitation services before serving as Chief of the 
Medical Staff for eight years. Dr. Haynie was recognized in 2012 by the 
Missouri State Medical Association for his 50 years of dedicated 
service as a Medical Doctor in the Bates County community. His always-
positive attitude and selflessness to remain faithful to service for 
decades is deserving of praise.
  Dr. Long began his practice in Butler, Missouri in 1964 where he has 
been a pillar in the community for over five decades. During his 
distinguished career he has operating from the same medical building 
performing more than 10,000 surgeries, delivering over 4,000 babies, 
and admitting over 50,000 patients. Additionally, he has been a leader 
for organized medicine groups, hospitals, banks, and churches within 
the community. I stand to recognize Dr. Long's passion for his practice 
and his community.
  In closing, Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues to join me in 
applauding the service and commitment of Drs. Haynie and Long. Their 
steadfast and enduring service is a shining example for all. We are 
blessed to have such dedicated practitioners serving us, and they are 
certainly worthy of our recognition.
