                 CONGRATULATING NEW ULM MEDICAL CENTER

  (Mr. HAGEDORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAGEDORN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the New Ulm 
Medical Center for being named the number one critical access hospital 
in the United States for 2019. This medical center, part of Allina 
Health, serves more than 13,000 New Ulm residents and countless more 
folks in southern Minnesota.
  The New Ulm Medical Center has found positive ways to improve 
affordability and increase successful patient outcomes. Even when faced 
with serious health challenges, patients can thrive when they have 
access to affordable and conveniently located healthcare.
  All Americans deserve access to quality, timely medical care. I am 
very pleased that residents in New Ulm, Brown County, and surrounding 
areas in southern Minnesota have such a fine institution of medicine to 
provide them.
  Congratulations to New Ulm Medical Center, and thank you for serving 
our community.
