                        Friday, October 4, 2013

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor Golden 
Living Center of McDonald County's Executive Director, Susan Woods, and 
Director of Nursing, Misty Furgenson, as recipients of the American 
Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living 2013 
Silver National Quality Award.
  Susan joined the facility in 1995 as a Certified Nursing Assistant. 
After holding just about every position in the living center, she 
became the Executive Director in 2005. Misty joined the Living Center 
as the Director of Nursing eight years ago.
  The Golden Living Center provides patients with quality health care 
in a comfortable living environment during their recoveries. Susan and 
Misty have led the McDonald County facility as a model of excellence in 
providing that care.
  The National Quality Award Program highlights facilities across the 
nation that serve as models in providing high-quality long-term care. 
Recipients of the Silver-Achievement award have demonstrated systematic 
advancement in quality, plans for continual improvement, and 
sustainable organizational goals.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Susan Woods and 
Misty Furgenson.
