                      CONGRATULATING KENDRA AUCKER

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Kendra Aucker, president and CEO of the WellSpan Evangelical Community 
Hospital in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Kendra retired earlier this month 
after 30 years of dedicated service.
  Kendra began her career at Evangelical Community Hospital in the 
early 1990s. Kendra left the hospital for a position at Capital Blue 
Cross, but returned in 1999, and stayed there ever since. She was 
appointed president and CEO of the hospital in 2015.
  Throughout her career, Kendra has worked to grow Evangelical 
Community Hospital. Some of her achievements include the opening of the 
ambulatory surgical center and urgent care, the expansion of specialty 
care units, and a cardiovascular expansion project.
  Kendra is the fourth president and CEO in the hospital's 100 years. 
Throughout her career, she has seen many changes and was pivotal in 
helping the hospital successfully navigate the COVID-19 virus.
  Mr. Speaker, Kendra has dedicated her career to growing the WellSpan 
Evangelical Community Hospital and helping others. I wish Kendra the 
best and thank her for her years of service.
