“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and welcome to Washington, D.C., a group of dedicated nursing and respiratory therapy students and professionals from West Coast University and American Career College. West Coast University first opened its Dallas, Texas, campus in 2012 and has since established a state-of-the-art facility in Richardson, providing important education to thousands of students. These colleges play a vital role in expanding access to nursing education and addressing workforce shortages among healthcare professionals across the United States. They are committed to preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals to meet our country's rising demand for care. As the daughter of a nurse, I know firsthand that our healthcare workers are our heroes. My mom worked the graveyard shift so she could be there to tuck my brother and I into bed and be home for us when we woke up. Please join me in welcoming these fine students to our Nation's Capital as they share with Congress their experience, passion, and perspective on providing quality nursing and healthcare. ____________________”
