       CONGRATULATING McKAY-DEE HOSPITAL FOR 100 YEARS OF SERVICE

  (Mr. BISHOP of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of 
Utah's great medical institutions, McKay-Dee Hospital, as it celebrates 
100 years of service.
  Founded by Annie Taylor Dee in Ogden, Utah, its goal was to bring 
medical services to underserved areas. In 1915, the Church of Jesus 
Christ of Latter Day Saints assumed ownership of the Dee Hospital, and 
under the leadership of David O. McKay expanded services for even more 
residents. In 1976, the LDS church relinquished control of the McKay-
Dee Hospital network to the not-for-profit Intermountain Healthcare, 
leaving it with the charge to become a model of health care excellence.
  Taking this charge of excellence to heart, tens of thousands of 
hardworking individuals have devoted their lives to healing patients at 
the three hospitals that have become the Intermountain McKay-Dee 
Hospital and Medical Center, and their efforts have been recognized as 
a national model for providing quality and affordable health care.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
the Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital for its 100 years of dedicated 
service.
