![[RESUMEN] Sesión Especial - Entrega de Medalla Sor Isolina Ferré](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RpQzcrdNfjM/0.jpg "En el marco de la celebración del Centenario de Sister Isolina Ferré (1914-2000), la Cámara de Representantes reconoció a ocho personas que son ejemplo vivo del legado de servicio desinteresado a los más necesitados que dejó la religiosa puertorriqueña.
Las Medallas a la Excelencia del Servicio al Prójimo Sister Isolina Ferré fueron entregadas en una Sesión Especial por el presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, Jaime Perelló, y el principal oficial ejecutivo de los Centros Sor Isolina Ferré, José Luis Díaz Cotto. Esta organización sin fines de lucro, fundada por Sister Isolina en la Playa de Ponce en 1969, establece de manera independiente los criterios de elección, recibe las nominaciones y selecciona las personas que serán reconocidas.
\"Estos ciudadanos han decidido servir al prójimo y hacer del compromiso, la compasión y la entrega una forma de vida. Les felicito por escoger ese camino y por ser ejemplos vivos del amor a los demás\", dijo Perelló.")
