                        HONORING NURSE ENTREKIN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DOUG COLLINS

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 14, 2018

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Fran 
Entrekin for her long career of medical service to the Gainesville 
community.
  For 50 years, Nurse Entrekin has served local children and families. 
She began her career as a medical assistant for Dr. Buddy Langston in 
1968 and then became a pediatric nurse in that practice. She started to 
work for the Longstreet Clinic in 1995 and, in 2004, became the first 
nurse to work at the Longstreet Clinic's Wee Care Office.
  This June, Nurse Entrekin will retire from the Longstreet Clinic, but 
not from caring for young people, as she plans to focus on her eight 
grandchildren.
  The legacy she leaves is one of passion and commitment. After caring 
for four generations of families, Nurse Entrekin is beginning a new 
season.
  I am proud to honor Nurse Entrekin for the decades she has invested 
in Northeast Georgia patients and the compassion she has spread 
throughout our community as a whole.
