  Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today during Women's History Month 
to honor an exceptional and influential leader from Rochester, New 
York: Rachel Petrie.
  Rachel is a dedicated nurse whose service exemplifies the very best 
of our healthcare professionals. For more than seven years at Unity 
Hospital, she has served in the Emergency Department in a variety of 
critical roles, including Charge Nurse, Triage Nurse, EMS Triage Nurse, 
Preceptor, and Mentor. In each capacity, she demonstrates exceptional 
skill, steady leadership, and an unwavering commitment to patient care.
  Her impact extends beyond clinical excellence. Rachel strengthens her 
team through mentorship and collaboration, helping to foster 
confidence, cohesion, and resilience in a fast-paced and demanding 
environment. Outside of the hospital, she continues her service by 
volunteering with her local EMS team and Fire Department, further 
demonstrating her dedication to helping others.
  Mr. Speaker, Rachel Petrie's work reflects a deep and enduring 
commitment to service, compassion, and community. During Women's 
History Month, it is especially fitting that we honor extraordinary 
women who have gone above and beyond to strengthen our communities. I 
am proud to recognize her and extend my deepest gratitude for her 
continued service.
