                      RECOGNIZING DENNIS HORRIGAN

  (Mr. HIGGINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, Catholic Medical Partners is one of western 
New York's largest physician networks. In recent years, it has evolved 
from a negotiating entity to a national model for clinical integration.
  In the first year of the Shared Savings Program, Catholic was one of 
the best performing accountable care organizations in the country, 
saving Medicare more than $27 million, while delivering quality care.
  At the helm has been president and CEO, Dennis Horrigan. In a career 
spanning four decades as a mental health professional, a physician 
network executive, and a managed care administrator, Dennis has been 
focused on improving patient experience and outcomes.
  It is my honor to recognize Dennis Horrigan for his commitment to 
using information technology, evidence-based medicine, and physician 
coordination to improve quality care in western New York and throughout 
the Nation.
