         SUGAR LAND HOSPITAL EARNS TOP GRADE FOR PATIENT SAFETY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 13, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Houston 
Methodist Sugar Land Hospital for earning an ``A'' for patient safety.
  For almost two decades, Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital has 
been a critical partner in the Fort Bend County community. Twice a 
year, Hospital Safety Scores are assigned to over 2,500 hospitals 
across the United States. Developed under the guidance of Leapfrog's 
Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score is an elite 
designation which sets the highest standards for patient safety. 
Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital was one of less than one-third of 
those inspected to earn an ``A'' for patient safety. Fort Bend County 
residents are blessed to be under the care of some of the nation's best 
doctors, nurses, technicians, and staff, who provide excellent care for 
the patients that pass through their doors. I commend all of these men 
and women for their hard work and dedication.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations to the Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital for 
receiving an ``A'' in patient safety. Thank you for all that you do for 
Fort Bend County.
