                          REMEMBERING SUE VEER

 Mr. SCOTT of South Carolina. Mr. President, as the junior 
Senator from the great State of South Carolina, it is my pleasure to 
honor the legacy and extraordinary work of the late Sue Veer from 
Greenwood, SC. Sue was the president and CEO of Carolina Health 
Centers, Inc., a community health center serving over 26,000 patients 
in rural Greenwood, SC. Sue was born in Springfield, OH, and raised in 
Florida. She earned her B.A. from Carlow University, attended Penn 
State University, and later received her MBA from Winthrop University. 
She is survived by three children, nine grandchildren, and a wide 
circle of extended family and friends.
  She previously worked at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh and Grand 
Strand Regional Medical Center in Myrtle Beach, SC. In addition to 
leading Carolina Health Centers for 19 years, she was a member of the 
executive committee for the National Association of Community Health 
Centers, NACHC, helped to lead the NACHC 340B Working Group, and served 
as a member of the board of directors for the South Carolina Primary 
Health Care Association.
  Veer gained recognition both across South Carolina and nationally for 
her expertise in community health centers and the 340B Drug Pricing 
Program. She often traveled to Washington, DC, to meet with my office 
and other congressional offices on health policy. She testified 
numerous times in committees in both the House and the Senate.
  Veer once said, ``Nothing in the professional realm has brought 
greater purpose to my life than participating in the process of 
ensuring everyone has access to comprehensive health care, along with 
the knowledge and motivation for them to seek better health and well-
being for themselves and those they love and care about.''
  Today, it is my pleasure to recognize the late Sue Veer and her 
dedication to making a difference in the health of Greenwood, SC, and 
our Nation.
