                      RECOGNIZING CASE MANAGEMENT

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize 
our Nation's case managers and the role that case management plays in 
our health care and our social services sectors.
  October 12-18 marks National Case Management Week. During this time, 
we recognize the contributions case managers make each and every day 
and the role that they play in educating individuals about their health 
care options across the continuum of care.
  While all too often overlooked, case managers are critical in 
improving health care outcomes for individuals across the country, 
promoting quality health care for patients.
  As we continue to look at ways to improve health care delivery in 
America, let us not forget the role case managers play in cost-
effective outcomes for patients.
  Today, I offer my thanks and praise for our Nation's case managers. 
During this upcoming National Case Management Week, let us all 
recognize the value that case management brings to the health care 
arena.
