                          HON. FRANK J. MRVAN

                      Thursday, September 28, 2023

  Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great respect and admiration that 
I take this time to honor Ms. Beth Wrobel and wish her well upon her 
retirement as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of HealthLinc. For her 
lifelong commitment to providing quality health care to communities 
throughout the region, she is to be commended.
  In 2002, Ms. Wrobel became CEO of HealthLinc. At the time, HealthLinc 
was a single, free medical clinic serving the local community. Under 
her direction, HealthLinc expanded its medical services to include 
pediatrics, women's health, and prenatal care, while also adding 
service lines including dental, optometry, behavioral health, substance 
abuse, podiatry, chiropractic, clinical pharmacy, health insurance 
enrollment, medical legal partnership, and more. The organization 
continues to grow and is comprised of twelve clinics across Northern 
Indiana, as well as two school-based telehealth clinics, one mobile 
medical and dental clinic, and a team of more than 490 employees. As 
CEO, Ms. Wrobel has worked tirelessly to ensure the accessibility of 
affordable, quality care to countless individuals and families who are 
underinsured, uninsured, or unable to pay. For her outstanding 
dedication to the people of Northern Indiana, especially those most in 
need, Ms. Wrobel is worthy of the highest praise.
  In addition to her noteworthy career, Ms. Wrobel has offered her time 
and support to numerous foundations and organizations throughout the 
years. Among her many leadership roles, Ms. Wrobel has served on the 
board of directors for the National Association of Community Health 
Centers, and she currently serves as trustee for Ivy Tech Community 
College's Valparaiso Campus. She is also a member of the board of 
directors for the Indiana Primary Healthcare Association.
  Ms. Wrobel's dedication to serving the residents of Northern Indiana 
is exceeded only by her love and devotion to her three sons, Chris, 
Tom, and David, her daughter-in-law, Heather, and her cherished 
grandson, J.J. I wish her quality time with her family in the years to 
come.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues 
join me in honoring Ms. Beth Wrobel for her unwavering commitment to 
improving health care throughout Northern Indiana and beyond and in 
wishing her well upon her retirement. For her many remarkable 
contributions, Ms. Wrobel is worthy of our deepest gratitude and 
appreciation.
