Last week we celebrated both National Nurses Week and Mother's Day. Today, I rise to highlight a Great Lake story of perseverance that ties them both together. Shalisa and Mishay Davis, mother and daughter, are from Detroit, Michigan. This spring they graduated together on the same day in Toledo, Ohio, both with nursing degrees. When a mother watches their daughter or son graduate from college, it is a larger-than-life moment, but to do it together is something unforgettable. You don't often get to follow so closely in your mother's footsteps. Mishay passed her boards and plans to continue schooling and hopes to become a family practitioner. Shalisa wants to open her own clinic to help communities with limited access to healthcare. Bravo. Congratulations to mother and daughter on their proud accomplishments. Bravo for embarking on a noble journey to help strengthen healthcare in our region. May all nurses in Ohio's Ninth District and beyond prevail in their dedication to care for and heal the people of our Nation. ____________________
