                       Tuesday, November 13, 2012

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to 
Lexington Medical Center in West Columbia, South Carolina, for winning 
the 2012 ``Pink Glove Dance'' video competition. Designed by Medline 
Industries, Inc., the Pink Glove Dance contest is designed to raise 
awareness about breast cancer and show support for cancer survivors.
  Lexington Medical Center's video featured nearly 1,000 hospital 
employees dancing to the Katy Perry song ``Part of Me'' while wearing 
pink gloves. Lexington Medical Center beat 260 other health 
organizations. And, it was the second year in a row they won this 
contest.
  We are fortunate to have the leadership of Lexington Medical Center 
President and CEO Mike Biediger, Board Chairman Dan Jones, and Director 
of Marketing Mark Shelley. Thank you to Lexington Medical Center for 
everything they do to treat cancer patients and educate our community 
about cancer prevention.
