                       Thursday, January 5, 2017

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Bay Area 
Regional Medical Center in Houston, TX for achieving Chest Pain Center 
Accreditation with PCI and Resuscitation from the Society of 
Cardiovascular Patient Care.
  Bay Area Regional is the first and only hospital in Houston and only 
the fifth in Texas to achieve this outstanding recognition. This 
accreditation is achieved by hospitals proven to have a higher level of 
expertise regarding patients with heart attack symptoms. Bay Area 
Regional has stacked its staff with a dedicated and expert cardiology 
team that ensures its patients receive the best care and treatment, 
while also promoting community awareness to prepare and prevent heart 
attacks. Their hard work and success keeps Houstonians healthy.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Bay Area Regional Medical Center for achieving 
Chest Pain Center Accreditation. We are very proud and happy to have 
such an exceptional hospital so close to home. Thank you for all your 
hard work.
