  Mrs. SPARTZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of the 
late Dr. Robert Hagen.
  Dr. Hagen moved to Lafayette, IN in 1987 to pursue an opportunity 
with the Lafayette Orthopedic Clinic, where he worked as an orthopedic 
surgeon for 34 years until his retirement in 2019.
  Dr. Hagen was committed to his neighbors and community. In 1985, Dr. 
Hagen started Unity Health Care in Northern Indiana. Additionally, he 
worked with the Purdue campus of the IU School of Medicine, and was a 
team physician for two local high schools for over 25 years. He was 
state president of the Indiana Orthopedic Society in 2000, a member of 
the Board of Councilors of the Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons from 2011 
to 2017, and United Way campaign chairman in 2017.
  Dr. Hagen dedicated a big part of his life fighting for health care 
reforms to improve health care value and make it more affordable for 
all Hoosiers and all Americans. His efforts will not be forgotten.
