                   CLOSURE OF MARTIN GENERAL HOSPITAL

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to reiterate my 
unwavering commitment to the people of eastern North Carolina, where 
healthcare is a pressing concern.
  Unfortunately, our region faces notable healthcare disparities, and 
the closure of Martin General Hospital in Martin County has only 
amplified these challenges.
  We recently convened a listening session to hear the community's 
thoughts on the future of healthcare in Martin County. I expressed my 
sincere gratitude to all who participated and shared their experiences. 
The stories shared at the listening session truly underscored the 
profound impact of the hospital closure.
  I want to assure Martin County that I am fully committed to working 
alongside the county and local residents to establish a new, 
sustainable healthcare system for this resilient community.
