                        Monday, October 28, 2019

  Mrs. LOWEY. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the New York-Presbyterian 
Westchester Division, as it celebrated its 125th anniversary on October 
25, 2019.
  Located in the City of White Plains, New York-Presbyterian 
Westchester Division provides critical mental health care services to 
New York metro area children, adolescents, adults and seniors. The 
facility is staffed by Weill Cornell Medicine clinicians, who work 
diligently to study mental illness, provide patient-centered care, and 
promote activities that support mental health healing. Housed in 
gracious buildings across 200 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, 
the hospital offers patients a tranquil environment to receive the care 
they need and deserve.
  For its high quality of services and commitment to its patients, 
NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester Division has received national 
recognition for excellence in nursing from the American Nurses 
Credentialing Center's (ANCC) Magnet Recognition program. The facility 
was also the first behavioral health hospital in the nation to be 
formally named by Planetree Inc., an international non-profit promoting 
the development and implantation of innovative, patient centered models 
of care delivery, as ``Gold Certified for Excellence in Person-Centered 
Care.''
  New York-Presbyterian Westchester Division has been an invaluable 
partner in making the City of White Plains and the surrounding area a 
healthier and more prosperous community. Madam Speaker, I urge my 
fellow members of Congress to join me in expressing both 
congratulations and thanks to the past and current employees and 
supporters of New York-Presbyterian Westchester Division for their 125 
years of distinguished service to our community.
