our community through the generous donation of their time, talent and 
resources over many years through support of PeachHealth Medical 
Centers.
  Their generous support and collective service on the PeachHealth 
Southwest Foundation Board for nearly two decades, has given the 
Vancouver hospital the opportunity to expand its capacity and serve 
more residents of Southwest Washington. Their contribution, which 
focuses primarily on maternal and infant health, helped establish the 
Holtzman Twins Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the Patricia Nierenberg 
Childcare and Early Learning Center. Their generosity has helped 
construct world-class facilities and establish a scholarship for low-
income families to help offset the cost of care at the new center, 
leading to a more healthy and vibrant community.
  I want to thank David and Patricia for their tireless involvement and 
support of our community. Their contribution is one that will 
positively impact Southwest Washington for generations to come.
