     CONGRATULATING DR. HENRY SMITH ON HIS WELL-DESERVED RETIREMENT

  (Ms. MANNING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. MANNING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Dr. Henry Smith 
of Cone Health upon his retirement.
  For nearly 30 years, Dr. Smith has been saving lives in our community 
as an interventional cardiologist. His passion for cardiology and his 
desire to improve quality of care has shaped his legacy of being a 
committed, patient-focused physician. Those who have had the pleasure 
of working with Dr. Smith will tell you he treats his patients as if 
they were his own family.
  As the director of the Moses Cone Hospital cath lab, and with his 
role in Cone Health's early use of 3D/AI-driven imaging, Dr. Smith has 
been an innovator for 30 years. Dr. Smith has also served as chairman 
of Cone Health's board of trustees and is a member of the board where 
he was a steadfast advocate for expanding access to healthcare.
  Outside the hospital, Dr. Smith is known for his involvement in his 
church and as a founding member of the Black Investments in 
Greensboro--or BIG--Equity Fund, at the Community Foundation of Greater 
Greensboro.
  Dr. Smith is an exceptional cardiologist, fierce leader, and a 
remarkable advocate for a more equitable healthcare system and 
community.
  I congratulate Dr. Henry Smith on 30 years of excellence and his 
well-deserved retirement.
