  Mr. KINZINGER of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate 
Silver Cross Hospital, which is located in my district, for expanding 
its facilities to New Lenox, IL. In this new facility, the wonderful 
caregivers of Silver Cross will be better able to serve the many 
residents of Will County. Each and every day, healthcare professionals 
across the country provide life saving and sustaining help to those 
most in need. The professionals at Silver Cross exemplify the best 
qualities we have come to expect from our healthcare professionals. 
Their distinguished history provides a tremendous example for others to 
follow.
  I would like to highlight just a couple of their accolades as they 
continue construction of their new state-of-the-art 289-bed hospital. 
First, Silver Cross Hospital has been named a

100 Top Hospital Award recipient for seven consecutive years by Thomson 
Reuters Healthcare, a leading provider of information and solutions to 
improve the quality and cost of healthcare. Only four hospitals in the 
nation have won the award for the last seven consecutive years. 
Secondly, new programs including an enhanced partnership with 
Children's Memorial Hospital, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and 
University of Chicago Medical Center will bring new services to 
patients and improve the health of the community.
  It is a true pleasure to represent Silver Cross Hospital. This new 
facility will allow the Silver Cross family to better fulfill their 
vision, which is ``We, the Silver Cross Family, are committed to our 
culture of excellence, and will deliver an unrivaled healthcare 
experience for our patients, their families and the community.''
