  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Ruth Hyman as 
she is honored by the Visiting Nurse Association Health Group at their 
Ruth Hyman Spiritual Support in the Jewish Tradition Hospice Program 
Tree of Life Donor Wall Dedication.
  A lifelong resident of Long Branch, New Jersey, Ruth Hyman continues 
her philanthropic endeavors to improve the well-being of New Jersey's 
residents. As the recipient of a generous donation by Ms. Hyman, the 
Visiting Nurse Association Health Group has named its hospice program's 
special services for Judaic pastoral care in her honor. The Ruth Hyman 
Spiritual Support in the Jewish Tradition program will continue to 
provide important spiritual and pastoral care and comfort to 
individuals and their families. The Visiting Nurse Association Health 
Group's mission to make the community a better place reflects Ms. 
Hyman's passion for helping others.
  The largest non-profit visiting nurse association in New Jersey, the 
Visiting Nurse Association Health Group provides an invaluable service 
to our communities through compassionate home health care and support 
services. Its skilled health aides continue to meet the needs of over 
120,000 individuals in the comfort and security of their homes each 
year.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, please join me in thanking Ruth Hyman and 
the Visiting Nurse Association Health Group for their immeasurable 
contributions to our community.
