                       Friday, September 4, 2020

  Mr. STANTON. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Valle del Sol for 50 
years of excellence in serving Arizona through its world-class 
healthcare services and programs. Since 1970, Valle del Sol has touched 
the lives of thousands of Arizonans, inspired transformational change, 
and provided meaningful support to families in our communities across 
the Valley. Its incredible work is a model in the greater Phoenix area 
and will continue to help many live healthy and fulfilling lives.
  Ever since its inaugural year, Valle del Sol has invested in quality 
and affordable healthcare services for people of all backgrounds, 
especially our Hispanic and Latino neighbors. They have helped lead the 
way in treating those struggling with substance abuse and brought 
behavioral health to the forefront of our community by establishing the 
first Latino centered methadone treatment program in the Phoenix area.
  Valle del Sol has built bridges for five decades and continues to 
spotlight the best and brightest in our community. Above and beyond 
healthcare and human services, its team has enriched the social, 
cultural, and economic fabric of Arizona. Its Hispanic Leadership 
Institute has brought together an extraordinary, diverse network of 
leaders who will continue to make our state a better place to work and 
live. Over the past few decades, the program has produced leaders who 
have carried out positive change in healthcare, government, business, 
and the non-profit sector--all of who lead with a stronger 
understanding of their commitment to the people they serve.
  I thank Valle del Sol, its community partners, and everyone involved 
in this grassroots movement to make it the gold standard for healthcare 
and human services in the southwest. Congratulations on 50 years of 
serving our children and families in Arizona. I am confident their 
passion and service will continue to leave a lasting impression for the 
next 50 years and beyond.
