  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, today, I would like to recognize Mason 
District Hospital of Havana, Illinois, as it celebrates its 60th 
anniversary. Their tireless work provides critical resources to our 
community in Central Illinois.
  Mason District Hospital was founded in 1957 with a mission to provide 
the highest quality healthcare to its surrounding communities. Since 
then, the Hospital has grown alongside our community to provide high 
quality care in the face of an ever changing healthcare landscape. As a 
rural critical access hospital, Mason District Hospital is immensely 
important to the hard-working people of Mason County and the 
surrounding area. Its demonstrable success in fulfilling the needs of 
its patients for so many years is admirable and worthy of recognition.
  Mason District Hospital has served thousands of Americans in their 
most desperate and vulnerable times. Their great reputation is known 
throughout Illinois and it is an honor to represent them in Congress. 
Congratulations to Mason District Hospital for sixty successful years, 
and here's to many more. Thank them for all that they do.
