Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 14 (Wednesday, January 21, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 14 (Wednesday, January 21, 2026)] [House] [Page H1159] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING SETH NESMITH (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Seth NeSmith, a registered nurse at Atrium Health Navicent, who has been named one of the 2025 Hospital Heroes recipients by the Georgia Hospital Association. This award recognizes the top three hospital employees or volunteers from GHA-member hospitals who dedicate their time to improving both their organization and the world around them. Mr. NeSmith has impressively received a registered nurse degree, bachelor of science in nursing, stroke certified registered nurse credential, and critical care registered nurse certifications. Mr. NeSmith was also awarded last year's Atrium Health Navicent's DAISY Award for noticing a vehicle stuck deep in a ditch, pulling the victim out, and providing immediate further care. Mr. NeSmith's leadership is vital for shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals who will go on to serve communities across Georgia. This recognition speaks to his extensive skills and expertise in nursing. We appreciate Mr. NeSmith's commitment to hard work, compassion for everyone around him, and going above and beyond for his patients. ____________________
