  Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, today, I along with Representative Bustos, 
would like to recognize the 50th anniversary of the American 
Association of Healthcare Administrative Management (AAHAM).
  The AAHAM was founded in 1968 and incorporated on February 20, 1973. 
The organization is dedicated to educating and advocating for revenue 
cycle professionals who work with healthcare patient accounts across 
the country. It has grown to represent thirty-one chapters with over 
3,000 members and is one of the best healthcare administrative 
management organizations serving patients throughout the United States. 
Over its 50 years, AAHAM has grown from serving hospital patient 
account managers to representing professionals who serve across the 
healthcare spectrum. They have made great contributions to the welfare 
of patients and have fostered a sense of fellowship and work to enhance 
the quality of life for all patients navigating healthcare financing.
  Their strong and dedicated leaders and membership have made the long 
tenure of AAHAM possible and we are proud to congratulate them on their 
50th anniversary.
