  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lydia Moore for her 38 
years of service to the Boulder City Hospital.

unit clerks. Desiring to further her education she enrolled in Clark 
County Community College and received her Licensed Practical Nursing 
degree and later returned to Clark County Community College receiving a 
Registered Nursing degree. She has held several supervisory positions 
including night Charge Nurse, House Supervisor, Medical Surgical Unit 
Manager, and is currently the Social Services Manager.
  Lydia received the Clark County March of Dimes Nurse of the Year in 
1992 and is Vice President of Lend a Hand. She continues to be an 
advocate for the prevention of domestic violence and is active in the 
Clark County immunization program for children.
  Lydia has served her community continuously throughout her life and 
Boulder City Hospital has been privileged to benefit from her knowledge 
and service for the past 38 years.

to the Boulder City Hospital and the Boulder City community.
