community.

professional organization dedicated to improving quality of life by 
providing comprehensive and effective behavioral health services 
through a caring and responsive partnership with individuals, families, 
and the community. They serve our community as one of the largest 
providers of behavioral health services in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
  Northeast Counseling Services offers a wide range of psychiatric 
services for children, adolescents, and adults including crisis

week, including holidays. They have office locations in Nanticoke, 
Hazleton, and Lehighton.
  Mr. Speaker, for the past forty years, Northeast Counseling Services

the group on its 40th anniversary and wish it continued success.
