CONGRATULATING UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN INDIANA'S COLLEGE OF NURSING AND 
                           HEALTH PROFESSIONS

  (Mr. BUCSHON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, the University of Southern Indiana's 
College of Nursing and Health Professions received the first-ever Nexus 
Award from the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and 
Education in August.
  The Nexus Award is a prestigious national honor that recognizes the 
interprofessional, team-based approaches that connect higher education 
and health care with goals to transform healthcare delivery, improve 
health outcomes, and decrease costs.
  I have personally toured USI's healthcare programs and met with the 
college's leadership as recently as last month, and I have long 
supported USI's work to fill healthcare delivery gaps, including 
serving urban and rural populations that would otherwise not receive 
primary healthcare services.
  Congratulations to USI Dean Dr. Ann White, as well as the professors 
and students, for this outstanding national recognition.
