                      Thursday, December 11, 2014

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize 
Orlando Regional Medical Center's Air Care Team as they celebrate 30 
years of critical-care service.
   Since 1984, the helicopter transport team has flown nearly two 
million rescue miles and transported more than 29,000 patients to 
Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC) and other Central Florida 
medical facilities. The elite crew's service area encompasses a 100-
mile radius that includes Orange, Lake, and Polk counties. Highly 
trained and experienced medical personnel, communications specialists, 
pilots and mechanics comprise the team that provides emergency medical 
care on the scene and in flight. The commitment and expertise that the 
team brings to Central Florida truly saves lives, reaching patients 
within the critical first hour of injury.
   I thank the Air Care Team for their extraordinary work in providing 
care for the people of Central Florida.
