LOGAN REGIONAL HOSPITAL'S 100TH ANNIVERSARY
(Mr. BISHOP of Utah asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
[[Page H1947]]
Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize the 100th
anniversary of the Logan Regional Hospital, which serves the citizens
of the Cache Valley of northern Utah.
In 1914, a new hospital with 60 beds was established that boasted
modern patient conveniences, such as an X-ray machine. From 1948-75,
the LDS church assumed responsibility for the hospital. In 1975,
Intermountain Healthcare, a not-for-profit community service, was
organized, which became a model for health care excellence.
In 1980, the hospital was expanded and moved to its present location,
thanks to the help of $2 million from private donors. Today, the
hospital has 148 beds and offers a full range of hospital services.
The 100 years of continued health care service has been possible
thanks to the professionals who have donated so much of their lives to
provide excellence in health care to their patients.
Logan Regional Hospital fulfills the dreams of its original founders.
Its not-for-profit community governance from committed board members
continues to excel in providing for quality health care services.
