       RECOGNIZING JONES REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER PROJECT FUNDING

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to highlight the $2 million in 
community project funding I secured for Jones Regional Medical Center 
in Anamosa to build a permanent, state-of-the-art medical simulation 
lab.
  For the past several years, JRMC has trained nurses out of two 
temporary trailers. Despite those challenges, their program continues 
to produce highly skilled providers who are urgently needed across 
Iowa.
  This funding will create a 1,700-square-foot advanced simulation 
center that will allow more students to graduate each year and expand 
training for high-demand medical fields.
  This investment strengthens Iowa's healthcare workforce, supports our 
rural hospitals, and ensures that communities across Jones County have 
access to trained, qualified providers. I am proud to have secured this 
funding and remain committed to strengthening healthcare access and 
training across Iowa.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish a very happy birthday to Ambassador and Iowa's 
longest-serving Governor, Governor Terry Branstad. Happy birthday, 
Ambassador and Governor Branstad.
