        COMMEMORATING   the   100th   Anniversary  of  the
        building  of  the  Castle  Point  Veterans   Affairs
        Medical Center on September 15, 2023

  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize those
institutions  which  have  faithfully  served  the  health  needs of the
community and its citizens with diligence and compassionate  commitment;
and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commemorate  the  100th  Anniversary of the building of the Castle Point
Veterans Affairs Medical Center to be celebrated at an event on  Friday,
September 15, 2023; and

  WHEREAS,  With  the  support  of  Hamilton  Fish  Sr.  and  numerous
residents of the State of New York, the Castle  Point  Veterans  Affairs
(VA)  Medical  Center  was built in 1923, as a place of hope for men and
women who suffered from tuberculosis; and

  WHEREAS, Located on the banks of the  Hudson  River  just  65  miles
north  of  New  York City in the Village of Wappingers Falls, the Castle
Point VA Medical Center first opened its doors to the  public  in  1924,
and became a major employer for residents of the Hudson Valley; and

  WHEREAS,  Today, the Castle Point VA Medical Center has evolved from
its humble beginnings into a general  hospital  which  delivers  a  wide
range  of  modern, progressive health care services such as intermediate
medicine, rehabilitation medicine and spinal cord  injury  care  to  the
meritorious veterans of the Hudson Valley; and

  WHEREAS,  The success of Castle Point VA Medical Center is in direct
correlation to the efforts of its leadership,  board  of  directors  and
staff,  whose  involvement  is, and always has been, characterized by an
impressive commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm,  and  an  uncompromising
standard of excellence in all endeavors; and

  WHEREAS,  Venerable  and  trustworthy  institutions,  tending to the
needs of the community and its citizenry,  represent  the  threads  from
which the fabric of society is woven; and

  WHEREAS,  This Legislative Body is proud to recognize the benevolent
good works of health care institutions, sharing the pride of its history
and accomplishments, and anticipating its future of continued growth  in
quality and personalized care; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
extend congratulations and just tribute to Castle Point Veterans Affairs
Medical Center, commemorating its century of service and care on  behalf
of the Hudson Valley community; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Castle Point Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
