  Mr. MEADOWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate The Margaret R. 
Pardee Hospital for reaching their 60th Anniversary.
   Pardee Hospital has shown outstanding and ongoing contributions and 
service to the health and well-being of the citizens of Henderson 
County since 1953.
   This is a tremendous milestone for our community hospital. Pardee 
has served area residents with an outstanding health care facility that 
is recognized by the nation and throughout North Carolina. Pardee is 
the second largest employer in Henderson County and is the only 
hospital in the Carolinas to earn the ISO 9001-2008 certification for 
quality.
   Mr. Speaker, as a Representative for the 11th District of North 
Carolina, I am grateful for the steadfast commitment to healing and 
saving the lives of our citizens in Western North Carolina.

                          ____________________
