  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Donna Diaco, who is 
a distinguished and devoted nurse.
  According to her colleagues, Donna Diaco is an outstanding member of 
the nursing staff at Desert Springs Hospital. Donna is a constant role 
model in her work in the Intensive Care Unit and always expresses 
compassion and care for her patients as well as her co-workers. This 
has earned her the respect and esteem of her colleagues and patients 
alike. Over the course of her 25-year nursing career, Donna has become 
an impassioned advocate for her patients and colleagues. Her hard work 
is complemented by her optimistic ability to find the silver lining in 
every cloud.
  Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Donna Diaco for her 
service in the Intensive Care Unit at Desert Springs Hospital and the 
community. Her professional expertise and caring nature have greatly 
enriched the lives of those in the Las Vegas community. I commend Donna 
for her efforts and commitment to her patients and to our community.
