  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Memorial 
Hermann Katy Hospital for earning an `A' rating from The Leapfrog 
Group's Fall 2018 Hospital Safety Grade.
  Memorial Hermann Katy was one of only 855 hospitals in the United 
States given an `A' rating from the Leapfrog Group, a national 
organization committed to improving health care quality and safety for 
consumers and purchasers. The Hospital Safety Grade assigns an A, B, C, 
D or F grade to hospitals across the country based on their performance 
in preventing medical errors, infections and other harmful incidents 
among patients in their care. By consistently striving for and 
achieving excellence, Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital has set the bar 
high for hospitals around the country.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital for being 
recognized with an `A' rating along with 855 other hospitals across our 
great nation. Thank you for your dedication to providing quality care 
to our Katy community.
