  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Lisa Philips, R.N., 
who has distinguished herself as an outstanding and devoted 
professional in her field as a Registered Nurse.
  Lisa Philips has been a Registered Nurse for over 28 years. In 2003, 
Lisa joined the staff at Summerlin Hospital as a Charge Nurse where she 
was responsible for incoming patients' ability to see a physician in a 
timely manner. In 2006, Lisa was promoted to House Supervisor where her 
responsibilities include maintaining the patient flow of the entire 
hospital and ensuring that patients receive their needed care. Lisa is 
a committed and caring nurse who has a unique ability to communicate 
with physicians, patients, and their families. Lisa also personifies 
team values and is the embodiment of the Very Important Patient Program 
recently established at Summerlin Hospital. As a result of her 
commitment to excellence and outstanding service to her patients and 
colleagues, Lisa was recognized as Employee of the Year for 2006.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize Lisa Philips, R.N. and her 
continued excellence at Summerlin Hospital. Her professional expertise 
and caring nature have greatly enriched the lives of those in the Las 
Vegas community. I commend Lisa for her efforts and commitment to her 
patients and to our community.
