                      Tuesday, September 16, 2014

  Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Mabel 
Wadsworth Center as it celebrates its 30th anniversary of providing 
outstanding health care and educational services to the women of Maine.
  The Mabel Wadsworth Center is the only private, not-for-profit, 
feminist health center in the state of Maine. The center is named for 
Mabel Wadsworth, a pioneer in Maine for women's health, education, and 
reproductive justice. Since 1984, the organization has been dedicated 
to providing quality health care to women while empowering patients to 
take control of their health and their lives.
  The Mabel Wadsworth Center works tirelessly to provide clinical and 
educational services to women regardless of their age, ability, race or 
ethnicity, sexual orientation, or economic status. Across Maine and the 
region, the Center has also become an advocacy leader on issues 
important to women and women's health.
  This year, the Mabel Wadsworth Center celebrates 30 years of 
promoting and protecting access to quality women's healthcare in Maine. 
I am delighted to recognize the accomplishments of the Center and their 
dedicated team and look forward to their continued success in the years 
to come.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating the Mabel Wadsworth 
Center on three decades of exceptional care and advocacy.
