                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 23, 2021

  Mr. ADERHOLT. Madam Speaker, I would like to offer my sincere 
gratitude and admiration for the healthcare workers in Alabama's 4th 
Congressional District, Northern Alabama, and our entire state: We have 
all heard stories about individuals in the healthcare field who have 
gone beyond the call of duty during the Coronavirus pandemic. From all 
across my district, and throughout our state, constituents have 
nominated some amazing medical workers, and it is my privilege to honor 
63 of these individuals today.
  Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen heroic work done to 
fight the virus on the front lines. Doctors, nurses, first responders, 
and everyone who has worked tirelessly in the medical field during this 
past year deserve all the thanks we can give them. They have kept us 
safe and healthy in a time when we needed it most.
  Over the past two years I have visited hospitals, talked with those 
on the front lines of the fight, and visited vaccine clinics throughout 
my district. I have been overwhelmed by the outstanding work being done 
each and every day. It has been a constant battle for these healthcare 
heroes, but they have risen to the task every step of the way. I have 
no doubt in my mind that these amazing men and women have made a big 
difference in Alabama's bout with COVID-19.
  It is for those reasons, and so many more, that I want to honor the 
healthcare heroes of Northern Alabama. They deserve nothing less. 
Thanks to the submissions from my constituents in Alabama's 4th 
Congressional District, I include in the Record the names of 63 
healthcare heroes. When history looks upon this trying time in our 
country, they will find the names of the men and women of Alabama who 
courageously took on the fight to keep the rest of us safe.
  With my utmost gratitude, may the legacy of these 63 healthcare 
heroes live on well into the future.
