                      REMEMBERING DR. KEVIN MURPHY

  (Ms. GRAHAM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. GRAHAM. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to remember Dr. Kevin Murphy, 
who passed away at his home in Port St. Joe, Florida, on Thursday, 
November 5, at the age of 71.
  Throughout his decades in medicine, Dr. Murphy built up an incredibly 
long list of accomplishments, from starting a heart surgery program in 
Indiana, to visiting impoverished and isolated villages across the 
world to provide care.
  In 2002, Dr. Murphy moved to north Florida, where he became medical 
director for the Gulf County Health Center. He worked there for more 
than a decade and became well known as a passionate health provider and 
advocate for equal access to quality care.
  As the proud great-granddaughter of one of north Florida's first 
country doctors, I have a special place in my heart for physicians like 
Dr. Murphy. The amazing care he provided for his community ensures he 
will always be loved and remembered in north Florida.
