  Mr. WHITFIELD. Madam Speaker, I rise in recognition of Trover Health 
System, a hospital in the City of Madisonville located in my District, 
the First Congressional District of Kentucky. On March 28, 2010, Trover 
was named one of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals by Thomson Reuters, a 
leading provider of information and solutions to improve the cost and 
quality of healthcare. The award recognizes hospitals that have 
achieved excellence in clinical outcomes, patient safety, patient 
satisfaction, financial performance, and operational efficiency. This 
is the second time Trover has been recognized with this honor.
  Trover Health System is an integrated health provider serving western 
Kentucky residents for more than 50 years. With nine locations in six 
counties, Trover proudly offers 55 services and specialties to meet the 
needs of Kentuckians close to home. With more than 130 primary care, 
mid-level and specialist physicians, 500 registered nurses, and 1,000 
licensed health care professionals, Trover is made up of an experienced 
team of dedicated staff. Trover provides healthcare solutions with 
compassion and respect for the uniqueness of every individual.
  Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I bring to the attention 
of this House the historical significance and sense of this notable 
achievement. Trover's commitment to patients is evident in everything 
they do--and they have shown themselves as a model for quality care.
