                      TRIBUTE TO EDWARD J. ROSASCO

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Edward J. 
Rosasco for his 17 years of service and dedication as president and 
chief executive officer at Mercy Hospital. Under Ed Rosasco's 
leadership, Mercy Hospital has strengthened its long-standing tradition 
of providing quality health care to all residents of south Florida.
  His dedication to improving and establishing his new patient services 
is evident with Mercy's Pain Management Center which cures patients who 
never thought that they would live without pain again.
  Another example is Mercy Hospital's Diabetes Treatment Center, one of 
only six in the Nation to be named a model center qualified to serve as 
a training location and a prototype for other diabetes programs.
  Mercy is also recognized as an important provider for international 
patients and is the leading choice for residents in the Caribbean and 
Central and South America who seek top quality care and treatment not 
available in their countries.
  For 17 exceptional years, Ed Rosasco has ensured that Mercy has 
remained true to its mission: maintaining an uncompromising commitment 
to excellence.
  Mercy Hospital will honor Ed tomorrow, and today I ask my colleagues 
to join me in paying tribute to Ed Rosasco for his service to our south 
Florida community.
