                       RECOGNIZING MALLORY PREDDY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. J. FRENCH HILL

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 1, 2020

  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, today, I recognize Mallory 
Preddy, an employee at the Boston Mountain Rural Health Center in 
Clinton, AR, for her extraordinary work during this public health 
crisis.
  Mallory usually serves as a dental hygienist at the clinic, but when 
the public health crisis began, she volunteered to learn how to screen 
patients at the front door of the clinic.
  She later began screening patients for possible need of COVID-19 
testing and is now serving as a runner, transporting samples from the 
testing tent to the lab for packaging.
  Her supervisor wrote the following. ``[Mallory] has readily 
volunteered for anything that we needed her to do. Some people just 
stand out in times of crisis and Mallory has been one of those 
people.''
  Mallory has stepped up to the plate for our nation during this time, 
taking on duties outside of her job description and putting herself in 
harm's way to help the people in her community.
  I thank Mallory for her dedication to protecting the health of 
Arkansans during this time. She, and Frontline workers like her, are 
vital to us overcoming COVID-19 as a nation.
