“And still I rise with love of country at heart and my mnemonic notes in hand. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with the preeminent privilege and singular honor of paying tribute to a great American institution. I do so with H. Res. 760, commemorating Houston Methodist Hospital for 100 years of service, 100 years of world-class healthcare, 100 years of saving lives, 100 years of groundbreaking research. Houston Methodist Hospital, the world's first multiorgan transplant hospital; first coronary bypass, grafting with the patient's leg vein; ranked the number one hospital in Texas for 8 consecutive years and a national honor roll hospital by U.S. News and World Report. Houston Methodist has eight hospitals, employing more than 23,000 persons, 1.3 million patient encounters last year alone, acknowledged for their outstanding specialties in neurology, neurosurgery, pulmonology, orthopedics, cancer, cardiology, heart surgery, and urology. Mr. Speaker, I am so proud to say that all of my colleagues in the Houston area are cosponsors of this resolution--original cosponsors, I might add. This would include the Honorable Sheila Jackson Lee, the Honorable Lizzie Fletcher, the Honorable Pete Olson, the Honorable Sylvia Garcia, the Honorable Michael McCaul, the Honorable Randy Weber, the Honorable Brian Babin, the Honorable Dan Crenshaw, and the Honorable Kevin Brady.…”
