  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Southwest Iowa Mental Health Center of Atlantic, Iowa for 50 years of 
service to Southwest Iowa. This 50th anniversary is a testament of the 
great work that is performed every day by the staff at Southwest Iowa 
Mental Health Center.
  The Southwest Iowa Mental Health Center partners with the Cass County 
Health System to meet the needs of children, adolescents and adults. 
The treatment team includes board-certified professionals in 
disciplines of psychiatry, social work, psychology and psychiatric 
nursing. Their specialized areas of expertise include child and 
adolescent psychiatry, family therapy, psychological testing, 
psychotherapy and marital therapy. Inpatient and outpatient services 
include 24-hour emergency care, consultation, evaluation, education, 
targeted case management, school-based mental health services, employee 
assistance programs, and integrated health programs.
  I commend the Southwest Iowa Mental Health Center and the staff for 
providing dedicated, committed and crucial mental health care to the 
Southwest Iowa area and the Cass County community. There is great work 
being done every day at the Southwest Iowa Mental Health Center. I urge 
my colleagues in the House to join me in congratulating the Southwest 
Iowa Mental Health Center for achieving 50 years of service. I wish 
them and all of the staff the best of luck moving forward.
