                      Wednesday, September 7, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to acknowledge the Ladies Board of 
Inova Loudoun Hospital, which is commemorating over a century of 
nursing in the Leesburg emergency room. I would like to personally 
commend these unselfish women who inspire others through their 
dedication and generosity in service to their neighbors, friends, and 
strangers. These commendable citizens embody the very best of this 
nation's values through their service to our community and exemplary 
performance in healthcare practice.
  The Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital has been ``the heart and 
soul'' of the hospital since 1912, when it was formed simultaneously 
with Loudoun's first healthcare center. Ever since, it has been raising 
money to support the hospital in renovations and supplies, and has been 
consistently rated in the top one percent of patient satisfaction in 
the nation. Even more recently, the board gifted one million dollars 
toward the renovation at the Leesburg campus, which was completed three 
years ago and continues to make important strides for the betterment of 
our Commonwealth. This is a clear testament to the outstanding work 
which is conducted by these exemplary individuals every day and they 
are deserving of recognition.
  Mr. Speaker, it brings me immense pride to recognize such a fine 
group, and I sincerely hope that we all can live up to their tremendous 
example. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Ladies 
Board. I wish them good luck and hope that they continue to better the 
future of Loudoun's exceptional healthcare.
