          RECOGNIZING THE SPOTSYLVANIA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 28, 2012

  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the many 
achievements of the Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center (SRMC). Since 
the hospital opened in June of 2010, its staff and volunteers have 
served their community selflessly, assisting patients with everyday 
illnesses as well as after tragic incidents such as the August 2011 
earthquake that was centered just 25 miles from SRMC. With over 50,000 
total hours of volunteer service performed in less than two years, 
these individuals have shown an extraordinary devotion to their 
community, and their compassion and friendly service certainly played a 
part in SRMC's high patient satisfaction ratings in 2011.
   In a perfect world, there would be no need for hospitals; however, 
it is reassuring to know that there are great medical centers such as 
SRMC should we ever require medical assistance. I'd like to commend the 
doctors, nurses, administrators, and volunteers who make up the 
impressive team at SRMC on their stellar performance in the brief 
amount of time since the hospital's inception, and I look forward to 
following the continued service of the great folks at the Spotsylvania 
Regional Medical Center in the future.
