[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 1] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 985] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]HONORING THE UPPER MERION SENIOR CENTER ______ HON. JOE SESTAK of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Monday, January 28, 2008 Mr. SESTAK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Upper Merion Senior Service Center. The Center has worked tirelessly and diligently to serve the senior citizens of Upper Merion over the past 10 years. The UMSSC has been successful in helping our seniors and our communities make choices for a healthier future. The Upper Merion Senior Service Center offers critical healthcare services: A nurse from Bryn Mawr Main Line Health visits the UMSSC twice a month in order to take blood pressure, weights, and respond to health inquiries from members. The UMSSC offers free Stroke Risk Assessments. Flu vaccine shots are offered each year to help ensure the health security of the members and surrounding community. The UMSSC provides popular exercise programs, with trained instructors, three days a week. Professional staffers offer free hearing screenings, free eyeglass maintenance, and informational presentations on hearing and vision. They offer educational and informational packets concerning Medicare, Medicare Part D, and any other issue that is of importance to members and the surrounding community. I applaud the Upper Merion Senior Service Center for providing all of these critical services to the community. I would also like to recognize the fact that the Upper Merion Senior Service Center works hand in hand with local community businesses by providing employment opportunities for members in office and clerical positions. All of these services are of the utmost importance for preserving and protecting the health security of the members, families, and communities living in Upper Merion, and I encourage the Center to continue to extend its profound, positive influence to those in need. ____________________
