         COMMENDING THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER MEDICAL CENTER

  (Mr. MORELLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the University of 
Rochester Medical Center, which has just been awarded a $3.75 million 
grant for their Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program.

  This significant award recognizes their world-class medical and 
educational expertise, while helping to cement their position as a 
leader in the geriatrics field.
  Investments like this are essential to strengthening health outcomes 
and ensuring a high quality of life for our loved ones as they age. The 
grant will support the Finger Lakes Geriatric Education Center, helping 
to fund specific education and training for Alzheimer's disease and 
related dementias. It will support the broader goal of creating a 
comprehensive age-friendly health system and work toward making 
Rochester and the Finger Lakes region a dementia-friendly community.
  I am so grateful to the University of Rochester for their continued 
dedication and commitment to supporting the needs of older adults. I 
congratulate them on receiving this exciting grant award and look 
forward to continuing our work together to provide high-quality care to 
everyone who calls our community home.
