                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 2, 2001

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Manhattan's 
Gouverneur Hospital on the occasion of its 116th anniversary. Since 
opening its doors to the Lower East Side community in 1885, Gouverneur 
Hospital has been committed to providing dependable high quality health 
care at an affordable price. From excellent emergency services to 
quality long-term care, Gouverneur Hospital has been there for its 
neighbors time and time again throughout the past century. An excellent 
medical facility and a haven for the community, the Hospital and its 
staff provide patients with efficient, thoughtful and affordable care.
  On September 12th, 2001, Gouverneur Hospital will be holding a 
fundralsing event in honor of its 116th year of service. I am pleased 
to offer my congratulations to Gouverneur Hospital on this occasion. 
The money raised at this function will enable the hospital to better 
meet the needs of the community, by expanding its nursing facilities, 
acquiring a mobile medical van, and increasing its services to the 
Chinese community. I also commend the recipients of the Gouverneur 
Hospital Community Service Award for their invaluable contributions to 
the Gouverneur Hospital community.
  For the services they have provided to the Lower East Side and their 
dedication to the well-being of the community, I offer my sincere 
congratulations to Gouverneur Hospital for 116 years of outstanding 
service.
