  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Leetta C. 
Beatty, one of the winners of the 23rd annual Personal Achievement 
Award from the HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Altoona. This 
award is given to encourage and recognize those who have made an 
outstanding effort to deal with or overcome a disability. This year, 
Ms. Beatty has earned that distinction.
   Ms. Beatty suffered a stroke-like incident in April 2016. Since the 
fateful day of her injury, Leetta has made great gains in her recovery. 
According to those involved in her rehabilitation efforts, Leetta is 
known for maintaining her sense of humor throughout the recovery 
process. She has also been described as hard-working and very 
cooperative with her healthcare providers and caregivers. Furthermore, 
she has continued to approach her rehabilitation with high motivation, 
exemplifying the power of a positive mindset.
   I am honored to help celebrate Leetta's impressive efforts and 
promising recovery, as I believe that her dedicated and positive 
attitude is something many of us can learn from as we attempt to 
overcome the hardships in our lives. Furthermore, I am happy to 
recognize Leetta for her perseverance, and I wish her the best as she 
continues on the road to full recovery.
