Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Department at Houston Methodist Sugar Land 
Hospital for earning a gold-level Beacon Award for Excellence.
  The Beacon Award for Excellence, given by the American Association of

improve patient outcomes using evidence-based care. Houston Methodist 
Sugar Land is one of only seven ICUs in Texas to receive this 
prestigious award. It serves as a role model to other hospitals 
striving for excellence in patient care.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second District of Texas, congratulations 
again to the Surgical ICU Department at Houston Methodist Sugar Land, 
Hospital for receiving a gold-level Beacon Award for Excellence. I 
thank them for their commitment to providing the best possible care for 
their patients.
