                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 13, 2025

  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor our Texas-24 Hometown 
Hero, Fort Worth resident Luke Hejl. In 2017, after attending a panel 
about remote care, Luke co-founded TimelyCare to address the shortage 
of mental health services on college campuses. He chose to focus the 
company's efforts on higher education after seeing how his alma mater, 
Abilene Christian University, was having trouble staffing its clinic 
well enough to serve students' mental health needs.
  Complementing existing on-campus services, TimelyCare's care 
coordination teams help students connect to resources, like clinic and 
pharmacy locations. The company now serves over two million students, 
partnering with over 360 higher education institutions, including North 
Central Texas College, University of Texas at Arlington, and University 
of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth.
  I'd like to thank Luke for his work to ensure Texas students have 
access to timely, high-quality mental health care. His compassion and 
entrepreneurship are inspiring.
