  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Memorial Hermann Life 
Flight for being named the 2014 EMS Air Medical Service of the Year by 
the Texas Department of State Health Services. This award recognizes 
Memorial Hermann Texas Trauma Institute's commitment to excellence in 
providing emergency care to critically ill and injured patients.
  Life Flight, Houston's only hospital-based air medical service, 
operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and performs more than 3,000 
life-saving missions each year. Since Memorial Hermann began its air 
medical program, it has completed more than 140,000 missions. Life 
Flight continually adds new in-flight medical innovations into its 
quick transport system to provide better care for the fast-growing 
Houston community.
  Thanks to the Memorial Hermann Texas Trauma Institute for their 
tireless work in ensuring our community's health and safety. On behalf 
of the residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Memorial Hermann for being honored with the 
2014 EMS Air Medical Service of the Year Award.
