            RECOGNIZING PASQUOTANK COUNTY EMS NATIONAL AWARD

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize 
Pasquotank County Emergency Medical Services for earning their 
prestigious 2025 Best in Category Award for Health from the National 
Association of Counties.
  Out of 157 entries, Pasquotank County EMS was recognized as one of 
the best health programs in the country and the only winner from North 
Carolina.
  During the COVID-19 pandemic, Pasquotank County EMS, like many 
counties, faced a serious shortage of paramedics and emergency safety 
workers.
  In response, they developed an innovative tiered response system 
allowing ambulances to quickly respond to emergencies while paramedics 
provided essential support when needed, improving their service, making 
it faster and more efficient.
  Pasquotank County EMS is a shining example of hard work, innovation, 
and dedication.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate each and every one on this remarkable 
honor.
