                         TRIBUTE TO DAVID DILL

  Mr. HAGERTY. Madam President, on behalf of myself and Senator 
Blackburn, I ask unanimous consent that the following remarks be 
printed in the Congressional Record in recognition of David Dill, the 
chairman and chief executive office of LifePoint Health.
  Since 2017, David Dill has led LifePoint Health, a diversified 
healthcare delivery network consisting of 62 community-based acute 
hospitals, more than 60 rehabilitation and behavioral health hospitals, 
and more than 250 additional sites of care.
  Under his leadership, LifePoint Health has become a leader in rural 
healthcare, serving as an influential voice for healthcare in 
communities across the Nation and helping to educate the industry on 
shaping policies that ensure that the needs of patients are met timely 
and effectively.
  David grew up in a small community in Kentucky, giving him a unique 
understanding of healthcare providers in non-urban areas. Throughout 
his time at LifePoint, the company has invested significant capital 
into the communities it serves, including $1.1 billion in charitable 
donations and $5.5 billion in total economic impact during the year 
2022 alone.
  In addition to his success at LifePoint Health, Mr. Dill has served 
as the chairman of the board for the Federation of American Hospitals, 
the immediate past chair of the board of directors for the Nashville 
Health Care Council, and a member of the American Hospital 
Association's Health Systems Committee. Most recently, Mr. Dill was 
appointed to serve on the Tennessee Rural Health Care Task Force, which 
was formed by Tennessee Governor Bill Lee to advance his 
administration's efforts to better serve rural communities across the 
State.
  On November 30, 2023, Mr. Dill received the 2023 B'nai B'rith Charles 
S. Lauer National Healthcare Award, which was established in 1983 to 
highlight the standard bearers within the healthcare industry 
throughout the country.
  This award further recognizes his dedication to community service, 
excellence in leadership, and outstanding philanthropic commitment to 
the healthcare community and beyond.
  I congratulate David Dill on his achievements, and I hope the rest of 
my colleagues join us in recognizing his tremendous contributions to 
rural healthcare across this country.
