DEAN HELLER OF NEVADA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE July 24, 2014 Mr. HELLER: Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate one of Nevada’s brightest students – Rebecca Espinoza – for being chosen to participate in the United Health Foundation’s Diverse Scholars Forum in Washington, D.C. The United Health Foundation named scholars from 28 states throughout the nation this year, and I am proud that Rebecca Espinoza, who attends the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, is among them. The Diverse Scholars Initiative serves to improve our nation’s health care system by increasing the number of health care professionals from multicultural backgrounds. Rebecca’s academic achievements thus far and her continued commitment to serving her community have made her a qualified candidate for the forum. In an effort to continue her dedication and service to her community, Rebecca is currently majoring in social work at UNLV and hopes to one day become a clinical social worker operating a non-profit to help disadvantaged youth in the community. I commend Rebecca for her mission and recognize that professional social workers provide valuable mental health therapy, caregiver and family counseling, health education, program coordination, and case management services. They also seek to ensure full participation of all members of society by working with millions of individuals, their families, and communities to combat a range of social problems so that we may improve our nation’s health and potential. Rebecca has been presented with the opportunity to pursue her career as a health care professional, and I am confident that great things will come from her in all of her future endeavors. On behalf of the residents of the Silver State, I am proud to recognize Rebecca for her accomplishments and contributions to our state. She undoubtedly represents Nevada’s best and brightest. Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating this exceptional young Nevadan. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
