  ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL: 100 YEARS OF CARE AND SERVICE TO THE 
                               COMMUNITY

  (Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of 
Arkansas Children's Hospital, which is celebrating 100 years of service 
to Arkansas' children and families. Since it was founded in 1912 as an 
orphanage, Children's has grown to become one of the largest pediatric 
hospitals in the Nation. Children's is the only Level 1 pediatric 
trauma center in Arkansas, and they provide care to all 75 counties. 
For the past 3 years, it has been included in Fortune's 100 Best 
Companies to Work For.
  Medical breakthroughs, intense treatments, unique surgical 
procedures, and forward thinking have led to Children's international 
reputation. This is due to Children's more than 4,000 employees.
  I congratulate Arkansas Children's Hospital on their contribution to 
the health and well-being of our children and families, and to 
Arkansas' economy.
