                     CELEBRATING BEN TAUB HOSPITAL

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in celebration of the 
60th anniversary of Ben Taub Hospital.
  The Harris County hospital district was created in November 1965 by a 
voter referendum. The hospital district remains a leader in indigent 
care in my home State of Texas, and the center of the system is the 
acute trauma center at Ben Taub Hospital.
  The hospital cares for more than 80,000 emergency patients each year 
who are in the most critical need. At Ben Taub, world-class doctors 
treat everyone regardless of their income, their gender, their 
insurance, or their immigration status.
  The doctors, nurses, support staff, and administrators are not just 
well known and respected locally for their training and patient care 
but also internationally.
  I am so grateful to have them serving my district and my 
constituents. I thank Ben Taub Hospital for 60 years of level one care, 
and may they have the best and most successful 60 more years to come.
