Whereas Dr. William Worrall Mayo first announced his plans to establish a 
        medical practice in Rochester, Minnesota, on January 27, 1864;
Whereas 2014 marks 150 years of Mayo Clinic providing continuous, quality 
        service to patients;
Whereas the Mayo Clinic model of integrated, high-quality health care has become 
        an international model for providing health care;
Whereas the many historic achievements of Mayo Clinic include--

    (1) developing the first integrated, multi-specialty practice of 
medicine;

    (2) creating the first anti-blackout suits for military pilots during 
World War II;

    (3) winning the Nobel Prize in 1950 for discovering cortisone;

    (4) developing a DNA test that detects anthrax in less than 1 hour; and

    (5) continuing a tradition of helping individuals in the most need of 
help, including by deploying medical teams to earthquake-stricken Haiti;

Whereas Mayo Clinic continues to value compassion, integrity, quality, and 
        innovation in its leadership around the world; and
Whereas Mayo Clinic is considered a premiere global center of health and healing 
        dedicated to medical care, research, and education: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the 150th 
anniversary of Mayo Clinic.
