  Mrs. KIRKPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I 
recognize a constituent of mine, Dr. Angela Golden, DNP, FNP-C, FAANP, 
of Munds Park, Arizona, for her service in the last 2 years as 
president of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. Dr. 
Golden has more than 34 years of nursing experience. She received her 
BSN from Ball State University in 1977, a Master's in Nursing Education 
from the University of Phoenix in 1996 and a Master's in Science from 
Northern Arizona University in 1998. Additionally, she completed her 
Doctorate of Nursing Practice at Arizona State University in December 
2008.
  The American Association of Nurse Practitioners is a national 
professional membership organization representing 189,000 NPs 
nationally. Under Dr. Golden's tenure, AANP membership has grown to 
more than 50,000 members, making AANP the largest NP organization in 
the world. Dr. Golden has helped lead NPs in transforming patient-
centered health care and has made tremendous strides in ensuring that 
policymakers and the public understand the care NPs provide to millions 
of Americans each year.
  In addition to her duties as AANP President, Dr. Golden serves as an 
Assistant Professor at Northern Arizona University, teaching in both 
undergraduate and graduate programs. Dr. Golden owns a family primary 
care practice, NP from Home, LLC, where she provides primary care to my 
constituents of northern Arizona and my fellow Arizonans in the urgent 
care setting in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
  I want to congratulate Dr. Golden on a successful term as AANP 
president and thank her on behalf of my constituents in Arizona's First 
District for the excellent care she has provided to her patients.
