       RECOGNIZING CARSON TAHOE HEALTH'S REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

 Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize the 10th 
anniversary of Carson Tahoe Health's, CTH, acclaimed regional medical 
center.
  Over the past decade, this center has grown to be one of northern 
Nevada's leading health care facilities. Most recently, the Carson 
Tahoe Sierra Surgery department of the regional medical center received 
the HealthInsight Hospital Quality Award for its top-tier care and 
patient satisfaction. The center has been recognized through a variety 
of accolades for its cutting-edge medical expertise and incredible 
patient care. I am proud to see this facility in Nevada recognized on a 
national level for its high-quality medical treatment.
  Since the Medical Center's opening, those working within the facility 
have gone above and beyond to provide northern Nevadans with the best 
health care. The staff has spent countless hours further expanding 
health care services for Nevadans. The medical center has developed a 
premier open heart and endovascular surgery program and a women and 
children's center with a five-star rating. The facility has also 
secured an affiliation with the University of Utah Health Care and 
Huntsman Cancer Institute, which significantly increases care options 
for Nevadans. The center is acknowledged for its complete cancer 
treatment, intervention, support, and aftercare and provides 153 beds 
for Silver State residents. The staff is comprised of 240 board-
certified physicians that cover an array of 35 medical specialties. The 
northern Nevada community is fortunate to have this incredible Medical 
Center ready to help with its medical needs.
  For the past decade, CTH's regional medical center has provided 
residents across northern Nevada with top-notch and innovative health 
care options. The hard work of those that have helped grow this 
facility is greatly appreciated. Today I ask my colleagues to join me 
in honoring the regional medical center on its 10th anniversary and in 
thanking those that work within the facility helping to save 
lives.
