  Mr. SOTO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Stephanie Florczyk as a 
Distinguished Leader in Central Florida for LGBTQ+ Pride Month. 
Stephanie Florczyk is a 340B program manager and front desk supervisor 
for SPEKTRUM Health, a healthcare practice in Orlando, Florida that 
serves the LGBTQ+ community. She is originally from Upstate New York 
and has lived in Central Florida for over 10 years.
  Her journey to realize her authentic self, from the first indications 
that she was transgender as an early teenager to coming out as a 
transgender woman in her 30s and beyond, has provided her with a wealth 
of experiences.
  She is trained in engineering and has experience in academia and 
biomedical research. Stephanie joined SPEKTRUM Health in 2022 and has 
served the organization in various roles. These roles have included 
supporting patient care and access to services, operating the pharmacy 
program and interacting with partner pharmacies, promoting access to 
PrEP and gender affirming care, grant writing, and outreach. She has 
worked to serve and support the LGBTQ+ community through SPEKTRUM 
Health and beyond. Stephanie is an advocate for transgender equality 
and access to gender affirming care despite restrictions from recent 
legislation. Additionally, she is a passionate advocate for HIV 
prevention and recovery from substance abuse, both of which 
disproportionately impact the LGBTQ+ community and have affected 
Stephanie personally.
  Stephanie believes in the power of education and in supporting the 
authentic expression of the individual, allowing each person to become 
the best version of themselves. She also believes in inclusion and in 
meeting people where they are to create the greatest positive impact on 
society.
