  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am happy to congratulate 
Mike Biediger on his retirement as CEO of Lexington Medical Center 
after over 25 years of dedicated service.
  During his tenure as CEO of Lexington Medical Center, he has led the 
hospital through an unprecedented period of growth. Lexington Medical 
Center has grown from 292 beds into a 414-bed modern medical complex 
with six community-based medical and urgent care centers and more than 
600 physicians and 60 medical practices conveniently located throughout 
Lexington County. Under his leadership, the hospital also established 
an innovative, nationally certified heart program. On May 8, 2015, 
Clemson University awarded Mike Biediger an honorary doctorate for his 
achievements in improving the quality of health of the citizens of 
South Carolina. I am grateful for his admirable service to the 
community and his commitment to quality healthcare.
