                      TRIBUTE TO TAMMY LIVINGSTON

 Mrs. HYDE-SMITH. Mr. President, I would like to commend a 
friend and frontline healthcare worker, Tammy Livingston, who is a 
nurse at Kings Daughters Medical Center in my hometown of Brookhaven, 
MS. Rural hospitals like this one, along with their brave staff, are 
the backbone of healthcare in Mississippi.
  Tammy has worked at Kings Daughters Medical Center for over 20 years. 
While she has served in many positions within the hospital, she is 
currently the patient care coordinator. In her role, she cares for some 
of the sickest patients in the hospital by assisting her colleagues 
with patients in the ICU. Within the dedicated medical unit for COVID 
patients at Kings Daughters, Tammy monitors patients daily, making sure 
they are comfortable and cared for at such a difficult time.
  Tammy is invaluable to the Kings Daughters Medical Center. Tammy is 
put in situations every day where she endures heavy stress, heart-
wrenching situations, and puts herself in harm's way to care for 
patients and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic. She is a 
lifesaver and best friend to all of her patients. Tammy is a healthcare 
hero. I am thankful for our fighters like Tammy and pray that she may 
be kept safe while she serves her friends, family, and community 
through this pandemic.
