          RECOGNIZING THE SPOTSYLVANIA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 28, 2012

  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the many 
achievements of the Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center (SRMC). Since 
the hospital opened in June of 2010, its staff and volunteers have 
served their community selflessly, assisting patients with everyday 
illnesses as well as after tragic incidents such as the August 2011 
earthquake that was centered just 25 miles from SRMC. With over 50,000 
total hours of volunteer service performed in less than two years, 
these individuals have shown an extraordinary devotion to their 
community, and their compassion and friendly service certainly played a 
part in SRMC's high patient satisfaction ratings in 2011.
   In a perfect world, there would be no need for hospitals; however, 
it is reassuring to know

that there are great medical centers such as SRMC should we ever 
require medical assistance. I'd like to commend the doctors, nurses, 
administrators, and volunteers who make up the impressive team at SRMC 
on their stellar performance in the brief amount of time since the 
hospital's inception, and I look forward to following the continued 
service of the great folks at the Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center 
in the future.
