                        Friday, October 11, 2019

  Mr. BUDD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career of Dr. 
Rodney Allen Mortenson of Greensboro, North Carolina on the eve of his 
retirement.
  Dr. Mortenson has practiced sports medicine and orthopedic surgery 
for nearly five decades in the Greensboro and Eden areas. He has been a 
stalwart of the medical community, expertly servicing the needs of his 
patients while expanding the knowledge within the orthopedic field more 
broadly. Through his service as a faculty clinical professor of 
orthopedic surgery at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine and authorship 
of numerous published studies, Dr. Mortenson's intellectual 
contributions to his field and positive impact on future surgeons have 
been measurable.
  In 1976, Dr. Mortenson founded the Sports Medicine and Orthopedic 
Center in Greensboro specializing in trauma care, joint function, and 
hand and foot surgery. Countless patients have come to see Dr. 
Mortenson with serious, debilitating afflictions and left his office 
with a new lease on life.
  Dr. Mortenson now steps into a new phase of life, retirement, with 
the love and support of his wife Linda and daughters Ashley, Julie, and 
Lindsay. I am beyond grateful for the work Dr. Mortenson performed in a 
community that we both care deeply about, and I wish him only happiness 
in the years to come.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in celebrating the career of Dr. 
Rodney Allen Mortenson and honoring his service to the city of 
Greensboro.
