                      Thursday, September 8, 2005

  Mr. KANJORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask you and my esteemed 
colleagues in the House of Representatives to pay tribute to Bloomsburg 
Hospital in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, which is celebrating its 
100th anniversary of serving citizens in that region of the Nation. I 
also ask that you join me in recognizing Regis P. Cabonor, CEO of 
Bloomsburg Hospital, and Dr. John A. Scerbo, Chairman of the Board of 
Directors.
  The first and only locally owned and operated hospital in the area, 
Bloomsburg Hospital's highly trained staff of physicians and 
technologists offer state of the art diagnostic services, and an array 
of women's health and psychiatric services.
  Known as ``The Baby Hospital,'' the facility has been delivering 
about 600 infants annually for the past several years. Special birthing 
suites and knowledgeable nurses ensure that families receive a warm and 
caring experience at this special time in their lives.
  Accredited by the American College of Radiology, the United States 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the American Association of Blood Banks, 
the College of American Pathologists, the hospital is licensed by the 
Pennsylvania Department of Health.
  Its mission is to ``promote, restore and maintain health'' through 
fully integrated health care systems and services including in-patient 
care, in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation and out-patient 
surgery.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Bloomsburg Hospital on 
the occasion of this milestone event. The quality of life in the 
Bloomsburg area is clearly better because of the fine and caring work 
performed by the dedicated professionals at this institution.
