received the President's Award from the Victor Valley College 
Foundation on February 24, 2018.

  Fred was selected for this prestigious award because of his selfless 
contributions to Victor Valley College and local community. As the 
Chief Executive Officer for the Desert Valley Hospital/Desert Valley 
Medical Group, Fred spearheaded a partnership with VVC to assist 
students in pursuing careers in the field of nursing. This partnership 
provided not only financial assistance to these students, but also 
three-year employment contracts with Desert Valley Hospital. If that 
wasn't enough, Fred personally mentors and tutors nursing students in 
the program to ensure their success.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I would like to 
congratulate Fred Hunter for receiving the President's Award from the 
Victor Valley College Foundation. He is truly deserving of this honor 
and I thank him for his willingness to give back to his High Desert 
community.
