         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.
