                        Friday, November 2, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
North Country Prenatal/Perinatal Council on its 30th Anniversary.
  Founded in 1988, the North Country Prenatal/Perinatal Council (NCPPC) 
became the first perinatal network in New York State, serving 
Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence Counties. Since then, the NCPPC has 
worked hard to bolster maternal and family health by developing a 
number of services and programs to improve access to this crucial form 
of care. As the regional coordinating council for maternal and child 
health issues, the NCPPC also manages grants for teen pregnancy 
prevention, community enrollment in insurance programs, Healthy 
Families Jefferson County, and a family resource center. As a result of 
the NCPPC's persistent outreach and dedication, our North Country 
women, children, and families can continue to access the care they 
need.
  On behalf of New York's 21st district, I want to congratulate the 
North Country Prenatal/Perinatal Council and their dedicated employees 
on their 30th anniversary. We are thankful for their service to our 
local communities, and we look forward to watching them continue to 
thrive for many years to come.
