  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of my 
outstanding constituents, Dr. Chris Mattey, a dedicated physician whose 
expertise and compassion benefit our community through her volunteer 
work at the Free Senior Health Clinic.
  Dr. Mattey volunteers every Tuesday, providing critical care to our 
Spanish-speaking population and ensuring they receive accurate, 
culturally competent primary care. A specialist in senior care, she 
combines deep medical knowledge with a humanitarian spirit, bringing 
both expertise and empathy to every patient she serves. Her dedication 
and thoughtful approach ensure that seniors in our community receive 
not only excellent medical care, but also dignity, reassurance, and 
hope.
  For her selfless dedication, unwavering compassion, and profound 
impact on our community, I am proud to recognize Dr. Mattey as a 2026 
Hero Among Us. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring her 
exceptional commitment, her remarkable skill, and the lasting, positive 
influence she has had on the lives of countless residents.
