                        Wednesday, May 23, 2018

  Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Eskaton, the 
largest nonprofit community organization serving senior citizens in the 
greater Sacrament area. As team members, clients, and families 
celebrate Eskaton's 50th anniversary, I ask all my colleagues to join 
me in honoring Eskaton and its team members for their tireless 
commitment to ensuring that the needs of our Seniors are met.
  For the past five decades, Eskaton has been defined by the compassion 
their staff shows towards their community members and the partnerships 
they have developed. Eskaton has been part of the growth of our region, 
enhancing the lives of our Seniors by providing innovative health, 
housing, and social services to nearly 14,000 people that live in their 
communities. Eskaton not only serves those living in their facilities, 
they also provide compassionate support options to those who choose to 
remain in their own homes. The Center offers important programs that 
assist Seniors in their daily lives, such as Telephone Reassurance, the 
Adult Day Health Center, and Eskaton Kids Connection.
  Eskaton serves the greater Sacramento community and our residents 
proudly. I extend my appreciation for the efforts of this outstanding 
organization and the individuals who work tirelessly to provide 
valuable health initiatives and benefits to the region's Seniors.
  Mr. Speaker, I stand to pay tribute to Eskaton and its staff for 
fifty years of serving Seniors in the greater Sacramento region. I ask 
all my colleagues to join me in honoring their exemplary work on behalf 
of Seniors, as well as their ongoing dedication to their mission of 
serving the community.
