  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the St. Joseph's 
Campus of Sisters Hospital as the recipient of the Cheektowaga Chamber 
of Commerce's 2013 Large Business of the Year Award.
  One of Western New York's premiere medical institutions, Sisters 
Hospital, St. Joseph's Campus has been recognized by the American Heart 
Association and the American Stroke Association for achieving 85 
percent or higher adherence to all Get with the Guidelines Stroke 
Performance Achievement Indicators. Cleverley and Associates, a 
prestigious consulting firm in Columbus, Ohio has recognized Sisters as 
a five-star hospital.
  In addition, Sisters Hospital has received numerous awards for the 
care they provide to members of our community, demonstrating their 
great work towards improving patient outcomes and their quality of 
patient care.
  A testament to Sisters Hospital's commitment to the community is 
their ongoing educational classes including Prepared Childbirth 
Classes, Better Breathers Club, Lifeskills Diabetes 4-part Series, the 
Savvy Shopper and Taking Performance to the Next Level. These 
invaluable classes provide information necessary to empower patients to 
make informed decisions about their health.
  Mr. Speaker, thank you for allowing me to recognize Sisters Hospital, 
St. Joseph's Campus, a fundamental piece of Western New York's thriving 
medical community, as it receives this well-deserved award.
