                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 8, 2008

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Toni Haddox, of 
Denton, Texas. Ms. Haddox has been recognized as one of the Great 100 
Nurses of 2008 by the Dallas-Fort Worth Nurse Executives and Districts 
Three and Four of the Texas Nurses Association.
  Ms. Haddox is a nurse at the Denton Regional Medical Center, which 
serves Denton, Wise, Cooke and Montague Counties. She is a perfect 
example of Denton Regional's mission in the community: she is a caring, 
compassionate person who exhibits passion, knowledge, and commitment to 
her patients and colleagues on a daily basis.
  Each year this recognition is bestowed on nurses who embody 
excellence in the science and art of nursing. The chosen honorees 
belong to an array of professional organizations and work in a wide 
variety of clinical specialties. This is the 18th consecutive year that 
the Texas Nurses Association, Districts Three and Four, and the Dallas-
Fort Worth Nurse Executives have recognized area nurses for their 
compassion and dedication. The recipients will be honored at a gala 
event on Monday, May 12, 2008.
  Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I stand here today to 
recognize Toni Haddox. It is an outstanding honor to represent both Ms. 
Haddox and her fellow nurses in the 26th District of Texas. Her 
constant vigilance and skill has made North Texas a better place, and 
her allegiance to her craft is nothing less than remarkable. I 
sincerely thank her for her service to our community.
