                      Wednesday, February 3, 2016

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Stan Morton on receiving the United Way Dr. Bettye Myers Humanitarian 
Award for his service to the local community.
   Prior to his retirement last month, Stan Morton served as the 
President of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, Denton since March 
2003. His impact in the community rivals his accomplishments as the 
leader of the hospital. Stan served on the board of directors for 
United Way of Denton County for nine years, is a past board chair and, 
upon completing his service on the board, was honored with the 
distinction of Lifetime Member.
   In addition to serving as United Way of Denton County's board chair, 
Stan also served as the 2006 Campaign Chair. Under Stan's leadership, 
the organization reached the $2 million fundraising threshold for the 
first time in the organization's history.
   While serving on the Health Services of North Texas Board of 
Directors, Stan was instrumental in positioning them to successfully 
apply for Federally Qualified Health Center designation.
   Recipients of this prestigious Dr. Bettye Myers Humanitarian Award 
are dedicated to helping others and promoting human welfare and have 
shown active engagement in the community. I would like to congratulate 
Stan Morton who is well deserving of this award and thank him for his 
tireless service to our community.
