   CELEBRATING IMPROVEMENTS AT THE NORTH COUNTRY FAMILY HEALTH CENTER

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 24, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate completed 
renovations at the North Country Family Health Center (NCFHC).
  The North Country Family Health Center is a Federally Qualified 
Health Center that receives support from the federal government and 
provides healthcare to the underserved. NCFHC has a proud track record 
of welcoming all patients, whether they be privately covered, publicly 
covered, or uninsured, and providing those individuals all with 
patient-centered, personalized care.
  In May of 2016, NCFHC received a $1 million award from the U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services through the Health 
Infrastructure Investment Program. With these funds, NCFHC undertook a 
two-year renovation project, resulting in important improvements to its 
main location in Watertown, New York. This facility now has a new front 
lobby, a revamped WIC Program station, and new pediatric and medical 
exam rooms to improve the patient experience.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I want to thank the North 
Country Family Health Center for its dedication to providing its 
patients with high quality care. This award is well deserved, and I 
look forward to seeing patients benefit from these renovations for many 
years to come.
