Blog: The Webster Wire: Spring Break
Statement
Dear Friend,
Families from all over Central Florida visited Washington this week as they enjoyed spring break and an educational vacation. It was a pleasure to meet the many individuals, families, and groups that came through my office to take pictures and receive a tour of the Capitol building provided by my staff. If you are planning to visit Washington, you can visit my website to get details on how we may assist and serve you.
I also met with many organizations and constituent groups who were traveling to Washington. On Wednesday, I welcomed Diana Bolivar, the President of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando and other local representatives from the Hispanic Chamber and the Hispanic Business Initiative Fund of Florida. For nearly 20 years, the Hispanic Chamber has been a prominent business-related entity in Central Florida, and it has been a pleasure to work with them on behalf of the Hispanic community.
Healthcare remains a prominent focus in Washington as we seek to provide patient-centered care to individuals and families. This week, I met with John Lord, the Chairman of the Board of Directors for Nemours, and other leaders and directors who provided an update on the Nemours Children's Hospital in Orlando. Earlier this year, I took a tour of the Orlando facility, and was glad to see the dedicated care and service that the staff and leadership provide to our community.
During the 2014 Healthcare Innovations Expo hosted by the Healthcare Leadership Council in Washington this week, I was presented with the Healthcare Innovation Award recognizing my continual support of advanced technological and treatment progress in the medical field.
As we continue to discuss improvements to our nation's infrastructure network in the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I met with local representatives from both the Canaveral Port Authority & the Florida Airports Council this week to discuss how to best support and improve Florida's port and airways systems. As a Committee, we continue to hold hearings and consider legislation that will expand our infrastructure capacities and build the support system for a strong and successful economy.
Your servant,
Daniel Webster
Member of Congress
