  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to congratulate 
Gina Elizabeth Lawson, DO, for being named the 2016 Catholic Doctor of 
the Year by the Mission Doctors Association.
   The Mission Doctors Association chose Dr. Lawson out of more than 
1,000 nominations in recognition of her efforts in responding to 
Christ's call to ``Heal the Sick.'' Dr. Lawson serves as the Medical 
Director of the St. Luke's Transfer Team and the Medical Director of 
the Women's Center of St. Luke's Northland Hospital, where she serves 
as a Eucharistic Minister and brings Communion to the hospital. Dr. 
Lawson also participated in a short-term mission to the mountain 
villages in Jamaica to care for the poor and overlooked.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in congratulating Gina 
Elizabeth Lawson, DO, for her accomplishments and her service to her 
community.
