CONGRATULATING HEBREW HOMES HEALTH NETWORK, UNITED FOUNDATION FOR AIDS, 
  AND SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL FOR HELPING FROSENE SONDERLING CREATE THE 
                          JACKSON PLAZA CENTER

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, Frosene Sonderling's wish came to 
fruition in my hometown of Miami when Hebrew Homes Health Network and 
United Foundation for AIDS opened the Jackson Plaza Nursing and 
Rehabilitation Center.
  The center is dedicated to persons battling diabetes, Alzheimer's, 
cancer, and Frosene's main cause, the elimination of HIV-AIDS.
  In association with South Shore Hospital, the beneficiaries of the 
Jackson Plaza Center will now have access to direct patient care, to 
housing, to community service, and to education. The center is becoming 
a home to many in our community in helping to preserve the quality of 
so many lives.
  Mr. Speaker, today I congratulate Hebrew Homes Health Network, United 
Foundation for AIDS, and the South Shore Hospital for championing this 
cause in our South Florida community, and for making Frosene 
Sonderling's dream a reality.
  Frosene was a former constituent of mine who worked tirelessly to 
raise funds for AIDS research. She was a noted contributor to 
organizations that help people infected with HIV, and she harbored her 
selfless passion to help this infirm population. Her donations 
benefited medical research for AIDS treatment; and before her death, 
Frosene shared a dream of a state-of-the-art facility. We are now very 
proud that it is in our midst.
