Next week is National Skilled Nursing Care Week, and hundreds of nursing home administrators will gather at State College, Pennsylvania, for the 2019 Spring Health Care Conference. Hosted by Central Pennsylvania Educational Resources, the conference will allow nursing home administrators the opportunity to exchange ideas and gain information from knowledgeable speakers. This year's theme for National Skilled Nursing Care Week is ``Live Soulfully,'' which will celebrate skilled nursing centers and their residents and staff by showcasing how they achieve happy minds and healthy souls. Whether it is planting, cooking, reading, or listening to music, these centers pay it forward by helping individuals find happiness to improve quality of life. Mr. Speaker, before coming to Congress, I worked nearly three decades as a recreational therapist, a rehab services manager, and a licensed nursing home administrator. I know firsthand how important quality of life is and how each and every person at a nursing home can impact the lives of residents. National Skilled Nursing Care Week thanks and celebrates caregivers for their tireless work to care for others. They truly make an impact. ____________________
