  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Salome Jarvis and her 
service to the health care community.
  Salome has a long and distinguished career dating back 20 years. She 
received her certificate in Gerontology from Chaffey College in 
California in 1985 and also took numerous nursing courses at San 
Bernardino Community College. After working in a California hospital 
for nearly 15 years, Salome moved to the Las Vegas Area in 1991 and 
began working at the Boulder City Hospital. She subsequently obtained 
her National Certification as an Activities Director. The professional 
affiliations of which she is a member include the National Association 
of Activities Professionals and the Southern Nevada Activity 
Professionals Associations, both of which she serves as an officer of 
the board. Salome is also very active in the community primary working 
with programs designed to promote positive change for youths.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Salome Jarvis for her distinguished 
record of service to the health care community. I wish her the best 
with her future efforts.
