On the recordJanuary 21, 2010
150 years ago, a group of outstanding doctors assembled to establish a new medical school, which would offer the first graded medical curriculum in the history of the U.S. This medical college eventually became a part of the world-renowned Northwestern University--located just outside of Chicago, IL--and grew to become one of the most prominent medical schools in the Nation. Today, it is known as the Feinberg School of Medicine, and it stands at the forefront of education, research, clinical care, and many related fields. Today I am proud to join the students, faculty and staff of the Feinberg School in celebrating 150 years of excellence. Thanks to their fine work and their lasting commitment to the highest standards of medical care, thousands of lives have been saved. Countless patients have received high-quality treatment from some of the most skilled caregivers in the medical profession. At the same time, the Feinberg School has prepared the next generation of leaders, innovators, and researchers, who will shape the course of healthcare in this country for generations to come. I would ask my colleagues to join with me in celebrating the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this outstanding institution, which is located in my home state of Illinois. Along with my good friend Senator Durbin, I am proud to offer a Senate Resolution to mark this momentous occasion, and to shine a spotlight on one of the finest medical schools in the United States.
