                         Monday, March 18, 2019

  Mrs. LAWRENCE. Madam Speaker, today I recognize the Michigan Public 
Health Association (MPHA) on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. 
This organization was founded in 1919 and has been advocating for 
public health ever since.
  For 100 years, the MPHA has worked diligently to eliminate and reduce 
gaps in health and health outcomes by improving the quality of life of 
Michiganders through advocacy, knowledge, practice and research. They 
perform valuable work in a field that has an immeasurable impact on the 
lives of all Americans.
  In addition to raising the standard of care throughout Michigan, the 
Michigan Public Health Association works to increase access to care in 
all counties of Michigan and assure that no child is uninsured. MPHA 
advocates for good health policy through community organizing and 
collaboration.
  On this momentous occasion, I want to congratulate the visionary 
founders and members of the Michigan Public Health Association, as well 
as MPHA's current President, Ms. Lorena Disha, and all the leaders of 
the MPHA for their important work. I look forward to their continued 
work for the health of our nation.
