  Mr. FAZIO of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Sisters of Mercy of Auburn in celebration of their 19th anniversary of 
health care ministry through St. Elizabeth Community Hospital, Red 
Bluff.
  St. Elizabeth Community Hospital has been located in Red Bluff since 
1906 when Mother Mary Joseph Bolan saw a need for health care and 
founded the hospital.
  Over the past 90 years, St. Elizabeth has demonstrated dedicated 
service to the community in providing the highest caliber of health 
care and improving the quality of life and well-being for the families 
of northern California.
  St. Elizabeth Community Hospital is an invaluable asset to the 
community, and reflects the talents and commitment of the Sisters, the 
physicians an employees.
  Upon this noteworthy occasion, St. Elizabeth Community Hospital 
deserves the most sincere congratulations and best wishes for a future 
filled with continued success.
