                       Tuesday, October 24, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Marcia Showalter, from the Mount Ayr Medical Clinic in 
Mount Ayr, Iowa. Marcia was awarded the 2017 DAISY Award at a ceremony 
earlier this year.
  This award was created to express the public's profound gratitude to 
nurses for the work they do on a daily basis. Through Marcia's skilled 
and compassionate care she delivers an outstanding service to her 
patients and their families. Gordon Winkler, CEO of Ringgold County 
Hospital, stated, ``Marcia epitomizes the exceptional people who 
provide exceptional care at the clinic and the hospital.''
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Marcia for receiving this 
award and for providing excellent patient care to her fellow Iowans. I 
am proud to represent her and all the members of the Mount Ayr Medical 
Clinic in the United States Congress and I ask that my colleagues join 
me in congratulating Marcia on this outstanding achievement and in 
wishing her nothing but continued success.
