                     HEALTHSOUTH'S 35TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
HealthSouth Nittany Valley Rehabilitation Hospital on 35 years of 
excellence in rehabilitation care.
  HealthSouth is a rehabilitation hospital in Pleasant Gap, 
Pennsylvania, that offers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient 
rehabilitation services designed to return patients to leading active 
and independent lives.
  Mr. Speaker, I know firsthand the dedicated work these highly skilled 
professionals perform each day at HealthSouth. Before coming to 
Congress, I worked for 30 years as a therapist, a rehabilitation 
services director, and a licensed nursing home administrator.
  There is no greater joy than to see your patients make progress after 
a debilitating event such as a stroke, a spinal cord injury, a brain 
injury, or a motor vehicle accident.
  HealthSouth is fortunate to be led by Chief Executive Officer Susan 
Hartman, a long-time rehabilitation professional who joined HealthSouth 
in 1994 and was named CEO in 2005.
  I congratulate CEO Hartman and the entire staff at HealthSouth on 35 
years of dedicated service to the community. They are committed to 
providing patients with comfort, professionalism, and respect 
throughout their rehabilitation experience, and we are grateful for 
their high level of care.
