                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, November 5, 2007

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the City of 
North Richland Hills' North Hills Hospital. North Hills Hospital is 
opening a new Heart Center that specializes in fast and efficient heart 
attack care.
  North Hills Hospital has been leading the medical world in heart 
care. It is the first hospital in the United States to accomplish Cycle 
2 Accreditation for its Chest Pain Center. The hospital is opening a 
Heart Center for its patients and will continue to lead the way in top-
of-the-line cardiac care.
  The Heart Center has been in construction for two years and consists 
of two operating rooms, 13 cardiac progressive care beds and eight 
cardiac intensive care beds. All of these rooms are on the same unit, 
which is helpful for transferring patients, and also for visiting 
families. The new model of the Heart Center is considered ground 
breaking in the medical field.
  I extend my sincerest congratulations to the City of North Richland 
Hills and the North Hills Hospital. It is my hope that they will 
continue to serve patients of the 26th District of Texas with the same 
care and spirit of service that they have shown throughout the years.
