             RECOGNIZING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF NORTHEAST DELTA DENTAL

                                     ______

                               HON. CHRIS PAPPAS

                                of new hampshire

                        in the house of representatives

                          Wednesday, February 26, 2025

      Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Northeast
    Delta Dental and their achievement in receiving the prestigious Malcolm
    Baldrige National Quality Award.
      Northeast Delta Dental was founded in 1961 as a not-for-profit dental
    company administering care in Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire. In New
    Hampshire, Northeast Delta Dental plays a crucial role in providing
    dental insurance to over half of insured Granite Staters. Additionally,
    through their Northeast Delta Dental Foundation, the organization
    supports various oral health initiatives, contributing over 1.3 million
    dollars in 2023 to programs that enhance community wellbeing.
      The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality award is a recognition that
    honors businesses and organizations that have the highest standards of
    excellence, innovation, and sustainability. Northeast Delta Dental was
    recently recognized as a 2024 recipient, one of only five companies in
    the United States to receive the award and the first ever from New
    Hampshire.
      On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional
    District, I want to congratulate Northeast Delta Dental for their
    remarkable achievement. This well-deserved recognition highlights their
    commitment to high standards of care and community involvement in the
    Granite State.
