                         Thursday, May 8, 2014

  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sally D. 
Chester, a truly inspiring nurse from my district and recipient of the 
Palm Beach County Medical Society's 2014 Heroes in Medicine 
Humanitarian Award.
  Throughout her career Sally has provided outstanding service to those 
in her local community. As chair of the Palm Beach County Medical 
Society, she united physicians in improving the community's health and 
as president of Leadership Palm Beach County, she educated and united 
leaders in building a better community.
  In 2004, when her husband, Don, became a quadriplegic following a 
devastating accident, she stood by him as his primary caregiver and 
became involved with service dog training. As a cofounder of Genesis 
Assistance Dogs and board member of New Horizons Service Dogs, she 
works to transform the lives of people with disabilities, including our 
veterans, through the training and placement of assistance dogs.
  In honor of her inspiring service for our community, I am pleased to 
recognize Sally D. Chester, R.N., and wish her continued success in all 
of her endeavors.
