HONORING CAROLYN HELMS AS MOORE COUNTY WOMAN OF THE YEAR

HON. RICHARD HUDSON

Tuesday, October 25, 2022
Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Carolyn Helms as the recipient of the Moore County Woman of the Year Award.
The Woman of the Year Award is a prestigious honor presented annually by the Moore County Community Foundation to individuals that have impacted Moore County through charitable works and community service. Since 2007, Ms. Helms' leadership roles with FirstHealth of the Carolinas and Moore Regional Hospital have greatly strengthened and improved the capabilities of these organizations to provide exemplary service to all in our community. After becoming a member of both FirstHealth's board of directors and Moore Regional Hospital's board of directors in 2007, Ms. Helms became chair of the Moore Regional Hospital Board in 2010 and later became the first female chair of FirstHealth's board in 2017. She held the latter position until 2019 and now currently serves as the CARE liaison for the Foundation of FirstHealth. Through her outstanding leadership over the course of her career, she has served as a trailblazer and been an invaluable role model for all healthcare professionals in our community.
In addition to this important work, she remains a board member for many state and local organizations such as the Sandhills/Moore Coalition for Human Care and The Baptist Retirement Homes of North Carolina. She has previously held numerous leadership roles at multiple local churches as well as working as a nursing instructor at Sandhills Community College. In 1993, she was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by the Southern Pines Jaycees on account of her exceptional community service.
Ms. Helms has made an immeasurable impact on our community and is deserving of the Moore County Woman of the Year Award. I would like to offer my sincerest appreciation and wish her success as she continues to serve our community.
Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring Ms. Carolyn Helms for her service to our community and being named the Moore County Woman of the Year.
