Billy Long (R-MO) and Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) thanking them for introducing the Promoting Life Saving New Therapies for Neonates Act of 2015 (H.R. 5182). The letter was signed by seven children's hospitals including: Cheyenne Children’s Clinic (WY), Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, Children’s Mercy Hospital and Clinics (MO), Nationwide Children’s Hospital (OH), and St. Louis Children's Hospital.
