  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an 
outstanding healthcare professional, Mrs. Yakitta Landrum-Lovett, for 
her dedication, compassion, and exemplary service to her patients, 
colleagues, and community.

patient care and leadership. Her professionalism, integrity, and 
service-minded spirit have earned her the respect and admiration of her

and community. She is an active member of New Jerusalem Missionary 
Baptist Church, where she serves on the Health Ministry and as a Youth 
Advisor.
  Mrs. Lovett's passion for nursing extends beyond the workplace. She 
is a member of the Eliza Pillars Registered Nurses Association for 
District 2, the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, and serves 
on the board of My Preemie & Me, Inc.--a testament to her commitment to 
advancing the field of nursing and supporting families in need.
  Her colleague, Chrissy Nicholson, Chief Human Resources Officer, 
shared, ``Yakitta displays true leadership in her role with the added 
bonus of a caring, dedicated, and compassionate nurse. I am grateful 
that she is on our team.''
  In here own words, Mrs. Lovett said, ``I enjoy helping my community 
become healthier one step at a time. I like working here because of the 
close-knit family atmosphere and how we show up for each other in times 
of need and adversity.''
  Outside of her professional and community endeavors, Mrs. Lovett 
enjoys shopping, traveling, cooking, and spending time with family and 
friends.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mrs. 
Yakitta Landrum-Lovett for her outstanding service, leadership, and 
unwavering commitment to her profession and community.
