                      TRIBUTE TO DR. JEFFREY ROSS

 Mrs. HYDE-SMITH. Mr. President, I rise today to honor Dr. 
Jeffrey Ross of Kings Daughters Medical Center in Brookhaven. Dr. Ross 
has both served and cared for his community since he first started 
practicing medicine in Brookhaven in 1990 and has risen to the 
challenge of COVID-19 with great distinction. Doctors like Dr. Jeff 
Ross are working through both physical and mental exhaustion during 
this pandemic. They have the burden of having the ``final say'' and a 
team of healthcare providers relying on their instruction daily. The 
stress presented in these situations is not something healthcare 
providers can simply turn off when they go off the clock. Despite all 
of this pressure, these doctors continue to do their job, selflessly 
managing the care of their fellow Mississippians.
  Originally from Whitfield, MS, Dr. Ross earned his medical degree in 
Jackson before pursuing his residency in Kentucky. He returned to 
Mississippi, where he has dedicated nearly all of his adult life to 
serving his neighbors. Dr. Ross and his wife, Susan, have raised three 
children in the Brookhaven community.
  I commend Dr. Jeffrey Ross for his personal sacrifice, dedication to 
his community, and his leadership. My State is fortunate to have 
doctors such as him who are focused on the health and wellness of all 
Mississippians.
