                        Thursday, March 5, 2020

  Mr. REED. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the dedication of 
the new St. James Hospital in Hornell, New York.
  St. James Hospital was founded in 1890 and has provided healthcare 
services to residents in the Hornell and surrounding communities for 
one hundred and thirty years. It has grown and changed over the years 
into the full-service hospital it is today.
  The hospital is an affiliate of the University of Rochester Medical 
Center and provides a variety of services including a twenty-four hour 
emergency department, general surgery, orthopedics and rehab services, 
imaging and lab services and a walk-in clinic. The hospital has also 
partnered with various regional health care entities such as UR 
Medicine; Loyola Recovery Foundation and Oak Orchard Health in order to 
provide the best care for area residents.
  During the long history of the hospital, we were glad to stand with 
the hospital to help with issues when they arose. We were proud

to be instrumental in keeping inpatient services here through 
cooperation with other stakeholders, and we are equally as proud to see 
this new facility come to fruition.
  The new facility is a state-of-the-art hospital with emergency and 
surgical services, fifteen inpatient rooms, an infusion clinic, MRI 
services and other imaging services, a new cafeteria, gift shop and 
more. This eighty-seven thousand square-foot facility will be an asset 
and treasure in the Hornell community.
  I cannot thank the doctors, medical professionals, board members, 
administration and other staff members enough for the work they do in 
the Hornell community. They have saved lives, provided excellent care 
for a plethora of years and we are all grateful in the Twenty-Third 
Congressional District of New York for the work they do each and every 
day. I congratulate St. James Hospital on the new facility and wish 
them many more years of extraordinary healthcare services.
  Given the above, I ask that this Legislative Body join me to 
recognize the dedication of the new St. James Hospital in Hornell, New 
York.
