  Mr. TIBERI. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise to 
recognize the Ohio State University Medical Center. OSU Medical Center 
has been listed among U.S. News and World Report's list of ``Honor 
Roll'' hospitals.
  Praised for their quality care and performance, OSU Medical Center is 
among only 21 hospitals in the country named to this elite list. This 
is the 17th consecutive year that OSU Medical Center has been 
considered one of ``America's Best Hospitals'' by U.S. News and World 
Report.
  The Ohio State University Medical Center is one of the largest and 
most diverse academic medical centers in the country. OSUMC has been 
recognized for more than six specialties including the Ross Heart 
Hospital, which ranked 37 among 4,861 hospitals and the James Cancer 
Hospital, which ranked 18th for cancer treatment. In addition, the list 
also includes ear, nose and throat, diabetes and endocrinology, 
gynecology, kidney disease, orthopedics, respiratory disorders, 
rehabilitation and urology.
  This success is a direct reflection of the staff and faculty at the 
Ohio State University Medical Center. All are credited for helping to 
make the OSU Medical Center a leader in medicine in creating a future 
that will improve people's lives. Their education, research, and 
dedication to personalized care for every patient is truly commendable.
  I offer my congratulations to the entire OSU Medical Center community 
for the hospital's excellence in care and the honor of ranking as one 
of America's Best Hospitals in 2009 and 2010.
