  Mr. SOTO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Craig Moore. He serves as 
Chief Executive Officer of AdventHealth Kissimmee, providing executive 
leadership for one of Osceola County's largest and most vital health 
care campuses serving residents across Florida's 9th Congressional 
District. Guided by AdventHealth's faith-based mission to extend the 
healing ministry of Christ, Moore is committed to ensuring access to 
compassionate, high-quality, whole-person care for the communities he 
serves.
  Moore brings more than 30 years of experience within AdventHealth, a 
nonprofit health care system dedicated to caring for the whole person--
body, mind, and spirit. He began his career with the organization while 
still in high school and has since served in a wide range of clinical 
and operational leadership roles across acute care, home health, 
outpatient, and hospital operations. Prior to becoming CEO, he served 
as Chief Operating Officer at AdventHealth Kissimmee, guiding the 
campus through a period of growth and transformation. Under Moore's 
leadership, the campus undertook a multiyear expansion totaling more 
than $100 million in investment to enhance access and readiness for 
patients across Osceola County. In addition, these efforts expanded 
specialty services, enhanced facilities, and added off-site emergency 
care, while also creating new jobs for local residents. Together, these 
initiatives contributed to improving patient safety, quality outcomes, 
and a stronger care experience for families across the county.
  Beyond the hospital campus, Moore is actively engaged in the Osceola 
County community. He serves on the board of the Osceola Council on 
Aging, supporting programs that promote independence, dignity, and 
access to services for older adults. He is known for a listening-first 
leadership approach guided by the principle, ``Seek first to 
understand, then to be understood,'' emphasizing collaboration with 
caregivers, physicians, and community partners.
  Moore holds bachelor's and master's degrees in physical therapy from 
Andrews University and an MBA from the University of Central Florida.
