Hershey, Pennsylvania, of course, is known throughout the world as the chocolate capital of the world, but there is another institution in Hershey which also is well known and well accepted in the larger community. That is the Penn State Hershey Medical Center. One of the fantastic services they provide is what is called the Life Lion, L-I-O-N, Life Lion service of helicopter emergency retrieval of accident victims and emergency victims of all types for transportation to the Medical Center, or for transportation from the medical center to another institution that is more specialized in the kind of medical services required. This helicopter unit is made up of a pilot, a paramedic, and a flight nurse, and is nonstop throughout all the days and all the weeks of the year. What is important for us, and why I bring it to Members' attention here today, is that this has been serving as a model throughout the Nation for similar types of services, and today they are celebrating 15 years of excellent service to the community.
