“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Linda Chmielewski from St. Cloud for receiving a 2015 Nurse of the Year award from the Minnesota March of Dimes. Linda, who is the vice president and chief nursing officer at St. Cloud Hospital--CentraCare Health, was named a recipient of the leadership award. She has effectively overseen the hospital's nursing department and ensures that her patients receive quality care, making her fully deserving of this award. This is not the first time that Linda has been recognized for exemplary work. In 2014, she was honored by the Women's Health Leadership Trust, again, for her leadership in the healthcare field. Nursing is a noble profession. We have all been cared for by a nurse, so we all know they go to great lengths for their patients. Without caring individuals like Linda, our healthcare system would suffer. So it is an honor to recognize her and all nurses for their service. Linda, thank you for your hard work and dedication to our community. ____________________”
