                CELEBRATING THE HUNTERDON MEDICAL CENTER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LEONARD LANCE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 28, 2013

  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the Hunterdon 
Medical Center for sixty years of excellence in medicine. The Hunterdon 
Medical Center is a product of community initiative, with county 
residents petitioning the Hunterdon County Board of Agriculture to 
build a hospital--the last county in the state without one. In 1953, 
the medical center opened its doors and has since built an esteemed 
reputation providing expert care.
  The Hunterdon Medical Center attracts excellent doctors from our 
finest medical schools. They come to practice in Hunterdon and to live 
and work in one of the most beautiful areas in the country. The Family 
Practice Residency Program is among the oldest in the Nation, and one 
of the most respected.
  New Jersey is a world leader in medical and biopharmaceutical 
research and development and the Hunterdon Medical Center is a proud 
partner in this distinction. I commend the physicians, nurses, support 
staff and community of the Hunterdon Medical Center for sixty years of 
fine work.
