                         Thursday, May 8, 2014

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to Adams County for being 
awarded the Healthy Ohio Healthy Community GOLD award from the Ohio 
Department of Health!
  As a physician, I know the importance of preventative care and the 
impact of lifestyle choices in creating healthy communities. The 
leaders in Adams County are to be commended for their efforts.
  As we empower residents and families to make healthier choices, we 
all thrive as a community. Promoting healthy options at home and in the 
workplace is a positive mission for everyone.
  Specifically, the Adams Brown Creating Healthy Communities Program 
and the Adams County Health & Wellness Coalition deserve recognition. 
These programs, in collaboration with the Adams County Regional Medical 
Center Diabetes team, Adams County Court of Common Pleas, and local 
employers like General Electric, have made effective progress in 
working towards a healthy and effective workforce and county.
  I am excited to watch Adams County's continued success and thank 
their leaders for working to improve the well-being of all their 
residents.
