     IN RECOGNITION OF ST. JOSEPH MERCY LIVINGSTON HOSPITAL'S 90TH

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELISSA SLOTKIN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 30, 2019

  Ms. SLOTKIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a hospital that 
embodies the spirit, standard, and strength of the community it has now 
served for 90 years. As St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital celebrates 
its 90th anniversary in the community, I would like to offer my 
congratulations and appreciation to the hospital's leaders, caregivers, 
and volunteers on this most extraordinary accomplishment.
  In its 90 years, St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital has grown its 
healing mission from humble roots in a 3-story home to a state-of-the-
art, modern hospital with two campuses in Livingston County. With a 
staff that today includes more than 500 physicians, St. Joseph Mercy 
Livingston is the county's only full-service hospital, and includes 
state-of-the-art robotic surgical services, a cancer center, 3-D breast 
imaging, a sleep disorders facility, and Michigan's very first short-
stay center, which provides overnight care for patients not requiring 
hospital admission.
  St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital has received numerous accolades 
for its dedication to patient safety, quality of care, and excellence. 
But the organization stands out not just for its commitment to the 
health of its patients, but for its devotion to the health of the 
entire region. Before a single patient enters the hospital, St. Joseph 
Mercy Livingston Hospital is reaching out to. As one of the county's 
main employers, the organization generously donates time, talent, and 
treasure to countless community events, school groups, and non-profits 
each and every year. The residents of Livingston County are so 
fortunate to have at their disposal this level of quality care and 
community support so close to home. I am honored to represent the fine 
men and women who work hard every day to make St. Joseph Mercy 
Livingston Hospital a source of pride.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today to honor St. 
Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital for 90 years of service, and to the 
promise of many more years of healing to come.
