                       Tuesday, November 29, 2016

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Peach Tree 
Health for its 25 years of providing quality and affordable healthcare 
to medically underserved communities in the 3rd District of California.
   Peach Tree Health is a federally qualified health center and an 
independent non-profit corporation based in Marysville, California. It 
has successfully extended its services throughout three counties within 
the 3rd District without sacrificing its core values of compassion, 
integrity, excellence, and cooperation in providing care for almost 
30,000 patients.
   In August, Peach Tree Health opened its first clinic in Sacramento 
County, launching a unique vision care service designed to maximize 
access to any child regardless of their family's ability to pay. In 
2017, Peach Tree Health will be opening a comprehensive Pediatric 
Center in Yuba City, California, that will offer health and dental 
services.
   The Department of Health and Human Services recently awarded Peach 
Tree Health a federal grant that will allow it to enhance its health 
information technology, further enhancing the quality of care it 
provides.
   Congratulations to Peach Tree Health on this important milestone and 
its continued work offering personalized health services at affordable 
rates. Its services are of great importance to communities throughout 
the 3rd District and I look forward to working with them in the future.
