                        Thursday, April 23, 2015

  Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize David and 
Patricia Nierenberg for the honor of receiving PeaceHealth's Nat 
Giustina Philanthropy Award. This award was created to honor 
individuals who have advanced the well-being of our community through 
the generous donation of their time, talent and resources over many 
years through support of PeachHealth Medical Centers.
  Their generous support and collective service on the PeachHealth 
Southwest Foundation Board for nearly two decades, has given the 
Vancouver hospital the opportunity to expand its capacity and serve 
more residents of Southwest Washington. Their contribution, which 
focuses primarily on maternal and infant health, helped establish the 
Holtzman Twins Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the Patricia Nierenberg 
Childcare and Early Learning Center. Their generosity has helped 
construct world-class facilities and establish a scholarship for low-
income families to help offset the cost of care at the new center, 
leading to a more healthy and vibrant community.
  I want to thank David and Patricia for their tireless involvement and 
support of our community. Their contribution is one that will 
positively impact Southwest Washington for generations to come.
