                     HONORING WHITE PLAINS HOSPITAL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NITA M. LOWEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 28, 2018

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor White Plains Hospital 
as it hosts its 125th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, September 29, 2018.
  White Plains Hospital is a not-for-profit health care organization 
aimed at providing quality and affordable health care to Westchester 
County and the surrounding areas. In the year following its founding in 
1893 by 22 women and three men, the hospital treated 31 patients. 
Today, it has a staff of 1,100 and treats more than 200,000 patients a 
year. White Plains Hospital has truly become a cornerstone of our 
community.
  White Plains Hospital not only provides both inpatient and outpatient 
services, but also aims to improve the health care of the local and 
professional communities and the business sector. It greatly expanded 
access to care by opening locations across Westchester County with 
excellent physicians in, but not limited to, primary care, pediatrics, 
obstetrics and gynecology, oncology, dermatology, geriatrics, 
cardiology, medical & surgical specialties, and urgent care.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to have worked alongside White Plains 
Hospital to support quality health care for area residents. I urge my 
colleagues to join me in recognizing this organization and applauding 
its 125 years of service to our community as it celebrates this 
quasquicentennial anniversary.
