 RECOGNIZING THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF WASHINGTON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Washington 
Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville as it celebrates 75 years of 
dedicated service to the people of northwest Arkansas. Since its 
founding in 1950, this institution has grown from a small county 
hospital into the region's largest health system, anchored by a state-
of-the-art medical center, as well as a robust network of clinics, 
specialty services, and outreach programs.
  Washington Regional has long been a trusted care leader, committed to 
improving the health and well-being of families across the rapidly 
growing region it serves. From earning national recognition for stroke 
and spine care to receiving the Lantern Award for outstanding emergency 
services, it continues to deliver high-quality medical attention close 
by for our family members, loved ones, and neighbors.
  Its dedicated providers and support staff have been strong partners 
in promoting community health beyond just the hospital walls. Through 
wellness initiatives, health education, and outreach alongside local 
organizations, it has advanced preventative care and addressed pressing 
health challenges, working to ensure that even the most vulnerable 
Arkansans have access to the support they need.
  As WRMC marks this milestone, I extend my heartfelt congratulations 
and gratitude to the physicians, nurses, staff, and volunteers who work 
very hard contributing to its mission. For 75 years, this institution 
has been a cornerstone of care and compassion in northwest Arkansas. I 
am confident that its legacy of service, innovation, and excellence 
will continue to strengthen the health and well-being of Arkansans for 
generations to come.
