                           HON. JOYCE BEATTY

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 5, 2025

  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I have the honor of representing Ohio's 
Third Congressional District, a region that leads in health care and 
education across the great state of Ohio and beyond. Today, I celebrate 
the recognition of Mr. Steve Beard on the 2025 TIME100 Health List for 
his outstanding leadership in health care education and in diversifying 
the medical field. Therefore, I include in the Record the following 
proclamation:

       Whereas, Mr. Steve Beard is Chairman and CEO of Adtalem 
     Global Education, a leading provider of doctors, nurses, 
     veterinarians, and social workers to the U.S. workforce; and
       Whereas, Adtalem serves over 90,000 students and has become 
     a top supplier of doctors, nurses, veterinarians, and social 
     workers across the nation; and
       Whereas, Adtalem's medical schools are among the top 
     producers of Black physicians in the United States, with 95 
     percent of recent graduates securing residencies, many in 
     primary care and underserved communities; and
       Whereas, many of these achievements have occurred under Mr. 
     Beard's leadership, reflecting his commitment to addressing 
     health care workforce shortages by expanding access to 
     education; and
       Whereas, Mr. Beard's efforts have had a meaningful impact 
     in Central Ohio, where Adtalem alumni play a vital role in 
     delivering care and serving our communities; and
       Whereas, Chamberlain University in Columbus, a member of 
     the Adtalem family of institutions and located within my 
     district, is actively working to address Ohio's critical 
     nursing workforce needs; and
       Whereas, Mr. Beard's leadership is rooted in a philosophy 
     of integrity, empathy, and service--values that have shaped 
     his rise from general counsel to chairman and CEO; and
       Whereas, his commitment to inclusive and transformative 
     leadership extends beyond the boardroom through active civic 
     engagement, including his work with A Better Chicago, which 
     advances educational opportunities in underserved 
     communities; and
       Whereas, through both his professional and philanthropic 
     efforts, Mr. Beard continues to drive meaningful change in 
     his community and across the country;
       Now, therefore, I, Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, proudly 
     recognize and commend Mr. Steve Beard for this national honor 
     and for his enduring commitment to equity in education and 
     health care.
       In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand to honor 
     Mr. Steve Beard and his outstanding leadership in health care 
     education and in diversifying the medical field.
