                    RECOGNIZING MIGUEL TREVINO, JR.

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HENRY CUELLAR

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, September 8, 2015

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retiring CEO 
of Gateway Community Health Center, Miguel Trevino, Jr. Born on April 
14, 1944 in Laredo, Texas. Mr. Trevino started his career 48 years ago 
with the Laredo-Webb County Health Department working on the Migrant 
Health Program. This program later became the private, not-for-profit 
corporation Gateway Community Health Center, which has provided 
preventive health programs including: Family Planning, Breast and 
Cervical Cancer Services, and Immunizations.
  As the former President of both the Texas Association of Community 
Health Centers and the Community Health Network of South Texas, Mr. 
Trevino was passionate about bringing health care needs to the 
forefront in his community.
  A proud husband and father of three, Mr. Trevino is a man of values 
who has always extended a hand to those in need. His compassion and 
persistence were exemplified every day by his eagerness to greet 
everyone the moment he walked in the door and his willingness to pay 
for patients who couldn't afford services.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Mr. Trevino. He never wavered 
and stood his ground; all to benefit the community and those in it who 
were most vulnerable. Thank you for this time.
