    HONORING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF KING'S DAUGHTERS MEDICAL CENTER

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I pay tribute and congratulate 
King's Daughters Medical Center of Ashland, KY. This hospital has been 
named as one of the Solucient Top 100 Hospitals in America.
  King's Daughters has been chosen for this award among every hospital 
in America. This award cannot be applied for; it is simply given to the 
hospitals that rank among the best in clinical outcomes, patient 
safety, operational efficiency, financial results, and service to the 
community. Solucient, a leading source of health care business 
intelligence, uses these five criteria to independently determine the 
best hospitals in America.
  The citizens of Ashland should be proud of this hospital. Their 
success serves as an example of how Kentucky is more than capable of 
providing elite-level health care to its citizens. King's Daughters 
Medical Center's dedication and hard work should be an inspiration to 
the health care community of the Commonwealth. I wish them continued 
success in the future.
