                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 25, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to acknowledge the Children's 
Emergency Room at Inova Loudoun Hospital for serving my constituents so 
meticulously every day. The work done by the doctors and nurses at this 
facility has led to them being recognized by the Emergency Nurses 
Association with the presentation of the prestigious Lantern Award.
  Named in honor of Florence Nightingale, a pioneer of modern nursing 
practices, this award recognizes top quality emergency departments and 
staff for their extraordinary performance and innovative procedures, as 
well as their outstanding roles of leadership, advocacy, and research. 
The Children's Emergency Room at Inova Loudoun Hospital is only one of 
eleven emergency rooms nationwide to have received this award, and I 
could not be more proud of them for receiving this high honor.
  This award serves as proof of Inova Loudoun Hospital's commitment to 
providing the best care possible, while also fostering a healthy work 
environment for their staff. The Children's Emergency Room opened in 
2006 to meet the needs of the growing population in this part of my 
district. The facility treats nearly 20,000 patients annually, and 
remains the only emergency room in the county dedicated to the care of 
children.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
doctors, nurses, and administrators at the Children's Emergency Room at 
Inova Loudoun Hospital for receiving the Lantern Award from the 
Emergency Nurses Association. I wish them all continued success, and 
thank them for diligently serving my constituents.
