                         Thursday, May 12, 2022

  Mr. BRADY. Madam Speaker, today I rise in celebration of the 
completed expansion project at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical 
Center.
  For nearly 115 years, Memorial Hermann Health System has been the 
premier health care provider in the Greater Houston region with 17 
hospitals in the area. Located in Houston, the Memorial Hermann Texas 
Medical Center is one of the nation's busiest Level I trauma centers 
and serves as the primary teaching hospital for McGovern Medical School 
at UTHealth.
  The Memorial Hermann Health System is famed for its cutting-edge 
advances in medical science and technology. As a nationally acclaimed 
Accountable Care Organization, it provides exceptional care in 
cardiology, neuroscience, orthopedics, women's health, general surgery, 
and organ transplantation. The Memorial Hermann Life Flight air 
ambulance service was the first of its kind in Texas, the second 
accredited air ambulance service in the nation, and is the busiest air 
ambulance system in the country.
  In my district, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center has 
been a valued partner for many years, caring for the community and 
engaging in numerous community events and activities,
  Continuing with the system's tradition of excellence, Memorial 
Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center houses the Canopy Cancer 
Survivorship Center. A first-of-its-kind facility, the Canopy Center 
offers an array of programs and services designed to address the 
emotional, physical, and social needs of those impacted by cancer.
  In November 2019, the Memorial Hermann Health System announced an 
expansion of its hospital in The Woodlands to meet the needs of 
patients and their families in the growing Montgomery County community. 
The new South Tower will provide 8 stories of patient care and house 
areas in which patients, their families and guests can learn, connect, 
and relax. The new addition will bring expanded patient and operating 
rooms to the campus and feature new interventional laboratories to 
allow Memorial Hermann to better serve the needs of our growing 
community.
  I am honored to join the countless friends and supporters of the 
Memorial Hermann
