                    in the house of representatives

                       Saturday, August 22, 2020

  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I would like to 
congratulate the Piatt County Mental Health Center on celebrating 50 
years of excellent service to their community. Formed in July of 1970 
much has changed on their path to 2020, but their commitment to the 
people they serve has not.
  The Center has excelled in their mission of assisting those in need 
to achieve recovery and self-sufficiency. They do so by helping clients 
identify, optimize, and utilize their own strengths and available 
resources. They do their work grounded in the principles of hope, 
personal responsibility, support, education and self-advocacy.
  For half a century, healthcare professionals at the Piatt County 
Mental Health Center have provided citizens with important services 
such as outpatient behavioral health services, addiction counseling, 
prevention education in schools, and a myriad of support services for 
adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities. They currently 
serve over 600 clients every year.
  Again, congratulations to the Piatt County Mental Health Center on 
their 50th anniversary. I wish them and their clients successful 
outcomes in the years to come.
