                 RECOGNIZING NATIONAL RURAL HEALTH DAY

  (Mr. WILLIAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS. Madam Speaker, I rise in honor of National Rural Health 
Day and to commend our healthcare providers across the 25th District of 
Texas for their determination during this once-in-a-generation public 
health crisis.
  Throughout COVID-19, these men and women have stepped up to continue 
serving Texans and protecting the well-being of our families.
  I am proud to closely partner with rural health facilities in our 
district like Goodall-Witcher in Clifton and Baylor Scott & White in 
Marble Falls, and to provide them with tangible relief and resources 
under the CARES Act.
  To further support their mission, I introduced the Ensuring 
Telehealth Expansion Act that would help ensure ease of care for both 
physicians and their patients, especially during the pandemic.
  As our world becomes more dependent on technology for healthcare 
delivery, it is crucial we adapt by creating policies that ensure the 
highest quality of care possible.
  To our central Texas doctors, nurses, physicians, first responders, 
and all other medical professionals, we simply say thank you.

  May God bless you, may God bless Texas, and may He continue to bless 
the United States of America.
  In God we trust.
