      HONORING CHERYL THIBODEAU WITH THE FRIST HUMANITARIAN AWARD

  (Mr. GUINTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of New 
Hampshire's leading citizens, Cheryl Thibodeau of Portsmouth Regional 
Hospital. The hospital, serving the seacoast region of my State, 
awarded Cheryl its 2015 Frist Humanitarian Award for her service to the 
local community.
  A nurse in the emergency ward, Cheryl is a consummate teammate to her 
coworkers, frequently going above and beyond the call of duty. Outside 
work, she donates her time as part of the Pease Greeters organization 
to welcome home returning troops at Portsmouth airport.
  She is an active participant in Sarah's Ride, a charity that raises 
money for the Portsmouth Firefighters Charitable Association. Also in 
her spare time, Cheryl lends her medical expertise and friendly bedside 
manner to others in need of home care and she teaches New Hampshire's 
young about the valuable profession she is engaged in.
  It seems that everyone has something positive to say about Cheryl and 
her efforts to make our State a better place. I have seen up close what 
she and the fantastic doctors and nurses at Portsmouth Regional 
Hospital do and could not be prouder of her work.
