       CHILDREN AND HEALTHCARE WEEK IN GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA

 Mr. HOLLINGS. Mr. President, many children face illnesses 
requiring a hospital visit. This can be a frightening experience and 
underscores the need to provide quality pediatric health services, 
while easing the stress children and their families feel. To do just 
that, the Greenville Hospital System Children's Hospital in South 
Carolina is celebrating Children and Healthcare Week the week of March 
24th with a number of valuable activities.
  Among the scheduled events are: continuing education classes for 
medical residents and support staff, an awards ceremony to honor local 
individuals who have dedicated their lives to pediatric care, a special 
tribute service to honor children, and special staff appreciation 
activities conducted by community volunteers. Lack of quality health 
care should never be an impediment to the long-term success of our 
children, and I commend Greenville's dedication to this.
