                      HONORING ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL

                                 ______

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 13, 2010

  Mr. PATRICK J. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
honor St. Luke's Quakertown Hospital for receiving the 2010 
Distinguished Community Service Award from the Bucks County Council, 
Boy Scouts of America.
  Madam Speaker, this worthy recognition was earned by St. Luke's for 
its tremendous contribution to our community and the positive example 
that service has set for the 13,000 young men and women served by 
Scouting and Learning for Life programs in Bucks County.
  The leadership exhibited by St. Luke's and its dedicated staff is 
inspiring and truly sets the bar in their field. St. Luke's is one of 
the premier health networks in the region, and the Quakertown facility 
is the fastest growing hospital in Southeastern Pennsylvania, a 
testament to the great work being done there.
  St. Luke's is dedicated to providing the community with quality care. 
By extending that mission beyond its walls through community days and 
health and safety awareness programs, St. Luke's has shown it will stop 
at nothing to ensure the health and well-being of the community.
  This dedication to service is exactly what it means to be a Scout, 
and as we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts, it is 
fitting that we recognize St. Luke's.
  Madam Speaker, once again I would like to thank St. Luke's Quakertown 
Hospital for its contribution to the community and especially to the 
youth of Bucks County.
