                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 23, 2015

  Mr. RIBBLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Peggy Troy, 
President and CEO of Children's Hospital Wisconsin, and to congratulate 
her on becoming the chair of the Children's Hospital Association Board 
of Trustees.
   Children's Hospital of Wisconsin is the region's only independent 
health care system dedicated solely to the health and well-being of 
children. The hospital, with locations in Milwaukee and Neenah, serves 
the children of the 8th Congressional District and is recognized as one 
of the leading pediatric health care centers in the United States. In 
fact, Children's Hospital is ranked fourth in the nation by Parents 
magazine and ranked in nine specialty areas in U.S. News & World 
Report's 2013-14 Best Children's Hospitals report.
   The Children's Hospital Association represents more than 220 
children's hospitals and is the voice of children's hospitals 
nationally, as well as the premier resource for pediatric data and 
analytics driving clinical and operational performance of member 
hospitals.
   Peggy's more than 40 years in health care, including working on the 
front lines as a bedside nurse and in a variety of hospital leadership 
positions, make her an ideal person to lead the Association's board. I 
have had the pleasure of working with Peggy over the years and am 
always impressed with her commitment to keeping the needs of kids at 
the center of every action. This is exemplified by the hospital's 
mission that children deserve the best.
   Congress will consider many policies this year to ensure that our 
health system is structured to provide high quality, cost effective 
care. I look forward to working with Ms. Troy, and the rest of the 
children's hospital community, to advance policies to improve the 
health of our nation's kids.
