                CARVER COUNTY IS MINNESOTA'S HEALTHIEST

  (Mr. EMMER of Minnesota asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. EMMER of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I 
rise today to celebrate Calvert County, located in Minnesota's Sixth 
Congressional District, for being named the healthiest county in 
Minnesota. This is the fourth consecutive year that Calvert County has 
received this impressive ranking. These rankings are completed by the 
County Health Rankings & Roadmaps program and are based on multiple 
factors, including: health, social, and economic factors, as well as 
clinical care, physical environment, and quality of life.
  We are incredibly proud of the people, businesses, and healthcare 
providers in Calvert County for working to ensure that everyone in our 
community has the ability to lead a healthy life, for encouraging our 
many local leaders to implement change, and for constantly striving to 
influence health in a positive way. It is because of the residents' 
hard work and determination that Calvert County is the wonderful 
community that it is today--and for that, we all say thank you.
