  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a longtime 
healthcare provider, Ms. Beatrice Ivory. She is the daughter of T.J. 
and Martha Ivory and is the mother of Kayla Beatrice Ivory, an 
Industrial and System Engineering major at Mississippi State 
University.
  Ms. Beatrice graduated from Henry Weather High School in Rolling 
Fork, MS in 1974. After working for 13 years with mentally challenged 
patients at Mississippi Christian Family service, she aspired to 
continue her education. In 1990, she received her LPN license from 
Hinds Community College along with specialties in Intravenous 
certification (IV) and Emergency Medical Technical License (EMT). Since 
receiving her LPN, she has worked with Skarkey-Issaquena Community 
Hospital (SICH), Heritage Manor Nursing Home, Delta Regional Medical 
Center, and Continue Care Home Health Agency.
  Ms. Beatrice is a member of the Pleasant Valley M.B. Church where she 
is an usher and Sunday school teacher. She is also currently serving as 
Treasurer of the South Delta School District Parent Teacher 
Organization.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in commending Ms. 
Beatrice Ivory for her services as a healthcare provider and public 
servant to the State of Mississippi.
