                      A TRIBUTE TO DENISE SULLIVAN

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 16, 2011

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Ms. Denise 
Sullivan.
  Denise Sullivan was born in Jamaica, New York, to Albert C. Wiltshire 
and the late Jeannette Morgan-Wiltshire. Denise has three wonderful 
children, Chris, Michael and Danielle. She takes great pride in her 
public school education and understands the importance of higher 
education; Denise graduated from Forest Hills High School and New York 
City Technical College (formerly known as New York City Community 
College).
  While Denise pursued a liberal arts curriculum at New York City 
Technical College, she had career interests in healthcare. Denise 
entered the profession in 1985, as a Registration Clerk for the 
Cumberland Diagnostic & Treatment Center. Her exemplary work for this 
company resulted in a promotion to Specialty Clinics Supervisor. Denise 
enrolled in the Nurse's Aide Program at. Medgar Evers College shortly 
thereafter.
  Upon graduating Medgar Evers College Nurse's Aide Program, and 
successfully passing the Boards, Denise continued her education: She 
became a Patient Care Associate, after attending Woodhull Hospital's 
Patient Care Associate Program; and received her Licensed Practical 
Nurse certification from the Brooklyn Adult Learning Center. Today, 
Denise works as a Licensed Practical Nurse in the Adult Medicine 
Clinic.
  Denise's passion for delivering health care extends to community 
service. She participated in numerous programs and organized events 
over the years, including Arlington Terrace & 154th Street Stop the 
Violence; and Weekend ``Safe Place,'' where she mentored students and 
created educational, social and sports activities. In addition, she 
consistently participates in the annual Breast Cancer Walk with her 
children, brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces. Denise believes that 
everyone has a contribution to make in caring and encouraging family 
and the community. Denise, with her selfless ways, is an example of 
commitment, giving so much of her time for a better community.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in recognizing the life 
of Ms. Denise Sullivan.
