                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 30, 2002

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Executive 
Director of Community Home Health Hospice, Donna Lloyd. Donna is 
leaving her position after sixteen years providing end-of-life care.
  Donna Lloyd has worked tirelessly to ensure the dying are given 
comfort and a high quality of life. Under her direction Community Home 
Health and Hospice has maintained a significant place in the health 
care community of Michigan. Aiding patients in Genesee, Oakland, 
Livingston, Shiawassee and Lapeer Counties, it has served as a role 
model for other community based hospices. Currently occupying a 19,000 
square foot facility, patients may live out the remainder of their days 
in a familiar and home-like setting.
  Over the years, Donna has been recognized as a leader in the hospice 
movement. She was nominated for the ``Heart of Hospice`` award by the 
National Hospice Organization in 1993. She helped write the standards 
and regulations for Hospice Residences in Michigan. Her experience 
organizing, and expanding a hospice gave her a unique perspective for 
this work.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me today in 
congratulating Donna Lloyd as she begins a new phase of her life. Her 
compassion for the dying has benefited everyone.
