           HONORING CENTRACARE HEALTH DIRECTOR DAVID BORGERT

  (Mr. EMMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor CentraCare Health's 
Director of Community and Government Relations, David Borgert. His 
approaching retirement will mark the end of his 21-year career with 
CentraCare Health.
  As a testament to David's hard work, CentraCare has thrived under his 
leadership. Whether it was securing grants and donations; educating his 
community on the intricacies of State, Federal, and community issues; 
or finding new ways to provide quality care, David has set the standard 
in the State of Minnesota.
  This is why the Minnesota Hospital Association took notice and 
awarded David with the Spirit of Advocacy Award for his tireless 
efforts to inform the central Minnesota community about healthcare 
reform.
  Under David's strong leadership, CentraCare Health has consistently 
been recognized for its outstanding work. David Borgert is a beloved 
and cherished member of our community because of his dedication to 
providing quality healthcare.
  His service to our community will be missed and we thank him for his 
years of commitment. We look forward to seeing him in his well-deserved 
retirement.
