                       Tuesday, October 10, 2017

  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, today, I recognize the Quincy Air Evac 
Lifeteam for their commitment to our community as they celebrate their 
20th anniversary.
  For twenty years, the Quincy Air Evac Lifeteam provided lifesaving 
access to crucial medical services for those who need it most. By 
providing air ambulance support, the Quincy Air Evac Lifeteam provided 
safe and rapid emergency transportation to the most vulnerable in the 
Quincy community. The Quincy Air Evac Lifeteam is essential to the 
safety of citizens in the rural communities of Illinois' 18th 
Congressional District.
  The Quincy Air Evac Lifeteam sets the gold standard for care among 
Air Evac Lifeteams around the country. In 2017, the National Paramedic 
of the year for Air Evac Lifeteam was awarded to a member of Quincy's 
team. I am grateful to the Quincy Air Evac Lifeteam for their service 
to our community and the lives they have saved.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to the Quincy Air Evac Lifeteam 
on twenty years of service and I wish for their continued safety as 
they continue to protect the Quincy community.
