                    PAYING TRIBUTE TO MIKE SCHERNECK

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Michael Scherneck's selfless 18-year career with the Southeast Georgia 
Health System.
  After nearly two decades of dedicated service to residents of 
Georgia's First District, Mike will retire early next year as CEO of 
the Southeast Georgia Health System.
  In 2003, Mike began his tenure as the executive vice president and 
CFO. In 2015, he was named president and CEO due to his dedication and 
hard work ethic.
  Without Mike's tireless advocacy, the Southeast Georgia Health System 
would not be the top-tier facility it is today.
  In a tenure wrought with trials, including three hurricanes and a 
global pandemic, Mike's extraordinary leadership allowed the health 
system not just to survive but to thrive.
  While we know that Mike is looking forward to retired life, we are 
certainly sad to see him go.
  Mike is leaving the Southeast Georgia Health System better than he 
found it and decades of future CEOs will surely be inspired by his 
lasting legacy.
