                       Monday, September 30, 2013

  Ms. ROYBAL-ALLARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate White 
Memorial Medical Center on its centennial celebration marking one 
hundred years of healing and caring for the people of Boyle Heights and 
the surrounding communities.
  White Memorial Medical Center was founded in 1913 to improve the 
quality of life of the residents of Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles 
by giving care to the whole person--body, mind and spirit. As a non-
profit, faith-based, teaching hospital which provides our community 
with inpatient, outpatient, emergency and diagnostic services, White 
Memorial Medical Center embodies a unique sense of family, loyalty, 
trust and commitment.
  White Memorial Medical Center plays an important role in training the 
next generation of physicians, nurses and other medical professionals. 
Its physicians are some of the finest in Los Angeles. White Memorial 
Hospital is known for quality outcomes and patient satisfaction. It is 
one of the top hospitals in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
  White Memorial Medical Center employees, physicians and volunteers 
extend their mission of healing and caring by supporting community 
projects and organizations such as Dolores Mission, the Homeless 
Outreach Project and the House of Ruth. They also participate in 
medical missions around the world including Africa, Mexico, Haiti, Peru 
and the Philippines.
  Through its ongoing operations, capital improvements and physician 
activities, each year White Memorial Medical Center generates 
approximately $1 billion in economic activity and supports more than 
6,000 jobs in the Southern California region.
  White Memorial Medical Center is a strong community anchor which 
provides quality health services that improve the health and well-being 
of all Angelenos.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to White Memorial Medical Center 
on its centennial celebration, and I sincerely thank its outstanding 
staff and volunteers for their quality service to the Los Angeles 
community and for the significant impact they make in health care, 
medical education and charitable contributions.
  May their outstanding service continue for another hundred years and 
beyond.
