                      HON. MICHAEL G. FITZPATRICK

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 13, 2013

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, Aria Health has been providing quality 
medical care to residents of the Philadelphia region since July 4th, 
1903 when it began as Frankford Hospital in Northeast Philadelphia.
  In the 110 years that have followed, Aria Health has grown to six 
facilities--three inpatient and three outpatient--and is the largest 
healthcare provider in the Northeast Philadelphia and Lower Bucks 
County area. Through that time it has continued to serve the medical 
needs of millions in the Philadelphia and Bucks County regions with the 
same commitment to care as the day they were founded.
  I rise today in recognition of their continued service to our 
communities, and congratulate them on their reception of the Crystal 
Vision Award--given each year by the Greater Northeast Philadelphia 
Chamber of Commerce.
  This award is a testament to the lasting impression Aria--its 
physicians, nurses and staff--have left on the lives of those they 
have, and continue to help. I am pleased to join with members of the 
Chamber in recognizing Aria for their accomplishments and wish them 
constant success in the future as they continue to care for our 
community.
