“Ms. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize March 23rd to March 27th as National AHEC (Area Health Education Centers) Week. Southern Nevadans are facing a dire shortage of health care providers, which means longer wait times, fewer choices, and less access to quality care. According to new Association of American Medical Colleges, the U.S. could see a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians by 2034, and the American Hospital Association says more than 200,000 new registered nurses are needed each year to meet increasing health care needs and to replace nurses entering retirement. To solve this crisis, underserved communities like ours need to expand the resources we offer so that medical providers can learn and grow their careers in southern Nevada. AHECs are a part of that solution, expanding the health care workforce, especially in rural and underserved communities. That has been and will continue to be key as we fight to ensure every Nevadan has access to the health care they need. The AHEC program has already trained millions of health care professionals. Across our state, from Elko to Reno to Las Vegas, the AHEC program is strengthening the future of our health care workforce which will help the health of all Nevadans. That is why I am proud to support this program and why, year after year, I have fought to secure essential federal investments in the national AHEC program. On behalf of my constituents at the Nevada AHEC program, their national counterparts, and the thousands of Americans who benefit from the care fostered by AHECs, I am proud to recognize this National Area Health Education Centers Week. I thank them all for their dedication to keeping our communities healthy. ____________________”

“Ms. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate a milestone for the Jewish community in southern Nevada-- Temple Sinai's 18th Birthday Mazel Fest taking place on April 11, 2026. In 1992, former members of Beth Am established Adat Ari El. They had humble beginnings, with around 15 families and held services in a storefront with a visiting Rabbi. Throughout the years, the Temple Sinai family has remained a vibrant, thriving community that holds close its core values and vision of worship, is vested in the community, and is alive with congregants and students who are enriching the lives of others. Temple Sinai is a community treasure for our families, with multiple touch points throughout the Jewish life cycle, from preschool to exclusive senior programming. Their vision reflects the passion, dedication, and commitment of its congregational family to look forward and strive to attain its goals for the future. As Temple Sinai celebrates 18 years, this milestone carries deeper meaning in Hebrew tradition, where the number 18 symbolizes ``Chai,'' the Hebrew word for life. Because Hebrew letters have numerical values (gematria), the letters chet (8) and yud (10) add up to 18, making it a lucky number representing life, vitality, and good fortune. Under the current leadership of Rabbi Ilana G. Baden, Cantor David Perper, and all its staff, Temple Sinai is a cornerstone of our strong, vibrant Jewish community across the valley. They are a beacon of hope, compassion, soulful worship, and lifelong education providing a sanctuary for spiritual growth, cultural celebration, and community engagement. On this historic occasion, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Temple Sinai and its dedicated members who contribute to its enduring legacy in southern Nevada. ____________________”

“Ms. LEE of Nevada. Mr, Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate a milestone for the Jewish community in southern Nevada-- Temple Beth Sholom marking 80 years of service, to be celebrated at their ``A Night in Jerusalem'' event taking place on April 26, 2026. Temple Beth Sholom was the first Jewish congregation to be established in southern Nevada, and its members and programs continue to play an integral part in the development of Las Vegas. Founded in the era of the Boulder Dam, the Temple's story mirrors Las Vegas' evolution. From its humble beginnings to the present, it has blossomed into a vibrant community, fostering deep roots and an unyielding commitment to Jewish heritage. As Temple Beth Shalom celebrates 80 years, this milestone carries deeper meaning in Hebrew tradition, where the number 80 corresponds to the letter Peh, symbolizing the ``mouth'' and the power of voice. This anniversary reflects not only a legacy of faith, tradition, and community, but also the enduring voice of a congregation that has uplifted generations, shared stories, and strengthened connection across time. ``A Night in Jerusalem'' honors this legacy, bringing together culture, history, and community in a celebration that reflects both the richness of the past and the promise of the future. Just as Peh represents expression and continuity, this moment marks Temple Beth Shalom's ongoing commitment to being a voice of unity, faith, and inspiration for years to come. Under the current leadership of Rabbi Felipe Goodman, Temple Beth Sholom promotes the role of the synagogue in Jewish life, encourages members to perform acts of kindness and charitable assistance, observe rituals, and be involved in the community. On this historic occasion, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Temple Beth Sholom and its dedicated members who contribute to its enduring legacy in southern Nevada. ____________________”
