  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Susan Cobb of 
Lewisville, Texas. Ms. Cobb has been named one of the Great 100 Nurses 
of 2008 by the Texas Nurses Association, Districts Three and Four, and 
the Dallas-Fort Worth Nurse Executives. She is a nurse at the Medical 
Center of Lewisville.
  The Medical Center's mission is to consistently provide high quality 
health services, information and education in an environment that is 
compassionate, professional, and responsive to its patients, 
physicians, and associates. Ms. Cobb is an excellent embodiment of this 
which her passion and commitment demonstrate.
  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.
