1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, The Illinois House of Representatives wishes to | ||||||
3 | congratulate MacNeal Hospital (MacNeal) in Berwyn on receiving | ||||||
4 | the 2019 George A. Ashby Award for Business Excellence from the | ||||||
5 | Berwyn Development Corporation; and
| ||||||
6 | WHEREAS, The George W. Ashby Award for Business Excellence | ||||||
7 | is a local honor named after one of Berwyn's
distinguished | ||||||
8 | early architects; the award is given annually to one | ||||||
9 | Berwyn-based business
that presents a professional and | ||||||
10 | favorable image to Berwyn, provides quality goods or services,
| ||||||
11 | maintains a visually appealing space, and practices | ||||||
12 | high-quality customer service to its patrons; and
| ||||||
13 | WHEREAS, In 1919, Dr. Arthur MacNeal launched a small | ||||||
14 | practice from the living room of his unassuming, ten-room
| ||||||
15 | residence in Berwyn; he quickly outgrew his residence and
broke | ||||||
16 | ground on a three-story building just a few miles north; by the | ||||||
17 | 1940s, MacNeal Hospital was the city's top employer; and
| ||||||
18 | WHEREAS, As equal parts employer and consumer, the hospital | ||||||
19 | ushered in a
wealth of opportunity and development for Berwyn | ||||||
20 | and the surrounding communities in Chicago's
western suburbs; | ||||||
21 | and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | WHEREAS, In 1969, MacNeal instituted the first department | ||||||
2 | of family practice residency program in Illinois; this
program | ||||||
3 | helped train future family physicians and also established | ||||||
4 | MacNeal as a teaching
hospital; today, as a member of Trinity | ||||||
5 | Health and Loyola Medicine, the family practice residency
| ||||||
6 | program is just one of many educational programs offered at | ||||||
7 | MacNeal; and
| ||||||
8 | WHEREAS, Opened in 1964, the coronary care unit at MacNeal | ||||||
9 | has leading-edge technology, state-of-the
art facilities, | ||||||
10 | advanced diagnostics, and provides minimally invasive | ||||||
11 | procedures; the coronary care unit helped earn MacNeal a spot | ||||||
12 | as one of IBM
Watson Health's top 50 cardiovascular hospitals | ||||||
13 | for the past two years; MacNeal maintains its top 50 ranking by | ||||||
14 | always pursuing
better, more advanced ways to care for | ||||||
15 | patients, their hearts, and their overall well-being; and
| ||||||
16 | WHEREAS, MacNeal is nationally recognized for its | ||||||
17 | dedication to stroke education, prevention, and recovery; | ||||||
18 | MacNeal's
Primary Stroke Center, which has served patients for | ||||||
19 | over ten years, has received the Joint
Commission Gold Seal of | ||||||
20 | Approval and the American Heart Association/American Stroke | ||||||
21 | Association
Stroke Gold Plus Quality Award; these awards are | ||||||
22 | testaments to the comprehensive care and rehabilitation | ||||||
23 | services
MacNeal offers its patients throughout the recovery | ||||||
24 | process; and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | WHEREAS, Since 2018, Loyola Medicine and MacNeal have been | ||||||
2 | proud sponsors of one of the community's largest
signature | ||||||
3 | events, Berwyn's Oktoberfest; in 2019,
MacNeal celebrated 100 | ||||||
4 | years of serving Berwyn and the surrounding communities; and
| ||||||
5 | WHEREAS, For the past century, MacNeal has been providing | ||||||
6 | exceptional medical
services to patients while cultivating | ||||||
7 | leaders in healthcare and education; therefore, be it
| ||||||
8 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
9 | HUNDRED FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
10 | we congratulate MacNeal Hospital on receiving the 2019 George | ||||||
11 | A. Ashby Award for Business Excellence; and be it further
| ||||||
12 | RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be | ||||||
13 | presented to MacNeal Hospital as an expression for our esteem | ||||||
14 | and respect.
