  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, today, I recognize Aaron Baxter 
for his outstanding work in the ICU at the University of Arkansas for 
Medical Sciences.
  Aaron began his career in health care at UAMS in 2015 as a patient 
care technician after working in the energy and manufacturing sectors. 
While working as a patient care technician, Aaron attended nursing 
school and obtained his RN.
  With the current pandemic, Aaron has taken on yet another role in his 
unit, working as both a COVID nurse and a dofficer, where his role is 
to help colleagues make sure they are properly using and removing their 
protective equipment.
  His previous experience working with high voltage powerlines and 
steel fabrication has provided him with the ability to carefully 
monitor and identify safety issues during this process.
  Aaron's superiors say that he is a team player who stands out due to 
his high regard for patient care and safety.
  I thank Aaron for his dedication to protecting the health of 
Arkansans during this time. He, and frontline workers like him, are 
vital to us overcoming COVID-19 as a nation.
