  Mr. PLATTS. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate Presbyterian Homes, 
Inc., located in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, for reaching its 80th 
anniversary.
  Presbyterian Homes, Inc., (PHI), originated in 1927 when Mrs. Ellen 
Parker donated her farmhouse to care for 10 older women from Central 
Pennsylvania. Today, PHI is dedicated to providing high-quality, 
affordable healthcare, housing, and retirement services to older 
Americans in 19 communities.
  More than 2,500 administrators, physicians, nurses, and other 
healthcare staff provide care to over 5,100 residents of PHI. 
Throughout its system of care, PHI provides independent living 
facilities, assisted living and personal care, skilled nursing care, 
specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care, rehabilitation therapy, 
adult day services, and operates a meals-on-wheels program.
  Madam Speaker, please join with me congratulating Presbyterian Homes, 
Inc., on their 80th anniversary. I wish them luck as they begin their 
traveling exhibit which makes its debut in the Pennsylvania State 
Capitol building in May.
