Prior to House passage of H.R. 3162, Pryce voted to extend SCHIP by supporting a motion to recommit the bill. Pryce is a nationally recognized leader on children’s health, and is the recipient of the Children’s Advocate Award from Ronald McDonald House Charities; the 2003 Champion for Children’s Award from the Children’s National Medical Center; the Child Advocate of the Year from the Court Appointed Special Advocates; the Congressional Champion Award from the National Childhood Cancer Foundation; and was named a Special Friend of Children and Children’s Hospitals by the National Association of Children’s Hospitals.
