                    RECOGNIZING DR. MICHAEL McSHANE

  (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 
congratulate Dr. Michael McShane, associate professor of medicine at 
Penn State University, for receiving the 2026 McGraw Hill Pathfinder 
Award.
  The annual McGraw Hill Pathfinder Award recognizes three innovative 
educators for their dedication to improving student learning.
  Michael graduated with a bachelor of science degree from Penn State 
in 2009 and later attended Penn State's College of Medicine. Michael 
has been pivotal in bridging healthcare gaps, specifically in rural 
communities. He is a founder and lead of the LION Mobile Clinic, a 
student-supported medical clinic with the goal of providing healthcare 
to rural communities across the Commonwealth.
  The clinic's fleet of five pickup trucks and two Airstream trailers 
was first launched in 2022. Since its establishment, the clinic has 
served more than 3,000 community members and administered over 800 
vaccines in Pennsylvania.
  Through the LION Mobile Clinic's collaborative programs, Michael has 
mentored many students across multiple academic disciplines.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Michael for his dedication to teaching and for 
helping to provide care for our communities.
