                        HONORING DR. RANDY STITH

  (Mr. COFFMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor today to recognize a truly 
great citizen of Aurora, Colorado, Dr. Randy Stith.
  As the executive director and CEO of Aurora Mental Health Center for 
over 40 years, Randy has exemplified the qualities of a great Colorado 
leader throughout his entire career. He has spent the last four decades 
providing access to mental healthcare to those in the greater Aurora 
area, often committing to 60-hour work weeks, while keeping up-to-date 
in the behavioral healthcare field, which is constantly evolving.
  Randy has been a true trailblazer in championing the expansion of 
mental healthcare, as it has rapidly progressed as part of the 
healthcare industry, especially over the past 50 years. He has served 
his community valiantly through triumph and tragedy, most notably, 
offering free counseling through the Aurora Mental Health Center to 
anyone in the Aurora area who had been impacted by the 2012 theater 
mass shooting.
  Randy's commitment to serving his patients, as well as his community, 
will be difficult to replace. However, I know that the entire Aurora 
community takes great pride in knowing that we have civic leaders such 
as Randy who are locally active.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Dr. 
Randy Stith, and to the entire staff of the Aurora Mental Health 
Center, for their tireless and unwavering commitment to offering 
excellent mental healthcare services to the people of Aurora, Colorado, 
over the last 40 years.
