 Paying tribute to the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey on 
   the occasion of the association's 90th anniversary, and for other 
                               purposes.

Whereas the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey, originally referred to 
        as the Monmouth County Organization for Social Service, was founded on 
        June 24, 1912, in Lincroft, New Jersey;
Whereas the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey was founded with a 
        commitment to improve living conditions and address the health and 
        social services needs of community residents, particularly women and 
        children;
Whereas in its first decade, the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey 
        launched child welfare programs, established outreach clinics, provided 
        school health services, and opened a district health office in Monmouth 
        County, New Jersey;
Whereas the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey has been in the 
        vanguard of community health in New Jersey and the Nation, introducing 
        mobile health clinics in the 1920s, outreach services to migrants in the 
        1940s, field training for graduate nurses in the 1950s, expanded home 
        care in the 1960s and 1970s, hospice services in 1980, primary care 
        services in the 1990s, nurse-practitioner-managed, school-based services 
        in 2000, and advanced home care technology in 2001; and
Whereas the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey serves the community 
        health needs of more than 100,000 residents of central New Jersey each 
        year, providing in-home health care services and community-based health 
        programs for people of all ages in all walks of life: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary 
of the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey, pays tribute to 
the association, to Judith Stanley Coleman for her 25 years of 
dedicated service as chair of the association, to the 1,000 employees
