  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize the Russian 
River Health Center on the occasion of the organization's 40th 
Anniversary Celebration and National Health Centers Week on August 15, 
2014.
   For four decades, the Russian River Health Center has been 
recognized as an invaluable asset within the community and has 
continued to serve the growing and diverse needs of the people of West 
Sonoma County. The Center's HIV program has become a model and a leader 
in the integration of HIV care in a primary care setting and continues

community it serves and will continue to provide vital health care for 
many years to come. Please join me in expressing hearty congratulations 
to the Russian River Health Center on the occasion of their fortieth 
anniversary.
