                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 5, 2017

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Houston 
Methodist Sugar Land Hospital for earning an ``A'' for patient safety 
for the sixth year in a row.
  Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital prides itself on the dedication 
of its physicians, nurses, technicians and staff to keep patients as 
healthy and safe as possible. Twice a year the Hospital Safety Score, 
part of The Leapfrog Group, grades hospitals based on how well they 
protect patients from errors, injuries, accidents and infections while 
in the hospital. Houston Methodist Sugar Land was one of 844 hospitals 
across the nation to earn an ``A'' grade in the fall 2016 survey.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital for 
earning an ``A'' for patient safety. We all benefit from their 
commitment to quality healthcare and we thank them for their hard work 
to keep Houstonians healthy.
