“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Whitmarsh House in Providence, Rhode Island--a safe haven and support network for Rhode Island youth, adults with developmental disabilities, and families for over 40 years. In recognition of the organization's commitment to excellence, Whitmarsh House has received a 3-year accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, or CARF. CARF is an accrediting body that recognizes an organization's demonstration of accountability and conformance to internationally accepted standards in providing essential health and rehabilitation services to its community. This accreditation comes as no surprise given the vital and quality services Whitmarsh House provides every day to our communities in Rhode Island. Whitmarsh House has served hundreds of youth through programs that support their development as productive and contributing members of our society. I am proud to honor Whitmarsh House and to congratulate the dedicated staff on receiving this important accreditation. I look forward to seeing its continued work for the community in the coming years. ____________________”
