COMMITMENT TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY

_____

HON. PETE OLSON

of texas

in the house of representatives

Wednesday, April 29, 2015

Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Memorial Hermann Health System for being recognized as a 2015 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year by the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA. This marks the third consecutive year that Memorial Hermann has received this honor.

Every year, the EPA's ENERGY STAR label is given to hospitals across the country for their energy performance management. For 2015, 20 percent of U.S. hospitals given this label were part of the Memorial Hermann Health System. I commend Memorial Hermann for their continued commitment to energy efficiency.

On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, congratulations again to the Memorial Hermann Health System for receiving this worthy recognition. Thank you for being a leader in our community and the health care industry.
