                       Friday, December 18, 2015

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Novant Health 
for their commitment to the health and well-being of Northern Virginia 
residents.
   Novant Health is an integrated network of hospitals, outpatient 
centers, and physician practices spanning four states and servicing 
more than 4 million patients annually including many in Northern 
Virginia. The Metropolitan area houses two of Novant Health's fourteen 
health care centers: Novant Health Prince William Medical Center 
located in Manassas and Novant Health Haymarket Medical Center. Other 
regional facilities include Novant Health Cancer Center, two surgery 
centers, Novant Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine, and Novant Health 
Breast Center.
   In 2013, Novant Health provided more than $21 million in charity 
care and services in Northern Virginia. Novant Health is one of the top 
25 integrated health systems in the United States and was named a top 
50 ``Best Places for Diverse & Women Managers to Work'' by Diversity 
MBA Magazine.
   Showcasing its commitment to active community engagement, Novant 
Health reaches beyond the walls of its many health facilities. Novant 
Health actively seeks out community health outreach efforts as part of 
the patient-oriented delivery model.
   One time-tested initiative is as the Hylton Presents Season Sponsor 
since the inaugural 2010-2011 season, as well as the namesake of the 
Novant Health Rehearsal Room. In addition to philanthropic support, 
Novant Health regularly hosts community and physicians events at the 
Hylton Center as a continued supporter of the center and Northern 
Virginia.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing Novant 
Health as the 5th Hylton Center for Performing Arts Anniversary Gala 
honoree for its commitment to improving the health of Northern 
Virginia, one person at a time.
