                               RESOLUTION


 
      Commemorating the centennial of Houston Methodist Hospital.

Whereas Houston Methodist Hospital is a nonprofit health care institution that 
        has been devoted to providing compassionate and exceptional health care 
        in Houston, Texas, for 100 years;
Whereas Houston Methodist Hospital opened its doors in 1919 as an outreach 
        ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has since saved 
        countless lives through its mission of putting the patient's physical, 
        mental, and spiritual needs at the center of everything it does;
Whereas Houston Methodist Hospital now stands as the flagship hospital of the 
        Houston Methodist system serving the greater Houston community with 1.3 
        million patient encounters in the last year across 8 hospitals with a 
        robust network of primary and specialty care physicians and more than 
        23,000 employees;
Whereas Houston Methodist Hospital has been a leader and incubator of innovation 
        within medicine and continues to invest in the research and development 
        of innovative medical breakthroughs, technologies, and ideas, such as 
        the world's first multiorgan transplant and the world's first successful 
        coronary bypass grafting using the patient's own leg vein, among many 
        others;
Whereas Houston Methodist Hospital's history of academic collaborations has 
        empowered new generations of clinicians and researchers through creating 
        medical education programs that are translational, interdisciplinary, 
        and transformative; and
Whereas Houston Methodist Hospital has consistently been acknowledged for its 
        quality, safety, and excellence, including being ranked the number one 
        hospital in the State of Texas for eight consecutive years and a 
        national Honor Roll hospital by U.S. News and World Report, and has also 
        been recognized for its outstanding specialties in neurology and 
        neurosurgery, pulmonology, orthopedics, cancer, cardiology and heart 
        surgery, urology, and many other medical specialties: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the 100th 
anniversary of Houston Methodist Hospital's founding, for its role as a 
pioneer and leader in medicine, and as a model in providing high-
quality, cost-effective health care for patients through an unwavering 
focus on safety, quality, service, and innovation.
