  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
celebrate Salud Family Health Centers on their 51st anniversary.
  Salud Family Health Centers have been an integral part of the 
community for the past 51 years. Originally known as, ``Plan de Salud 
del Valle'', or ``the health plan of the valley'', they began as 
healthcare providers to field workers in Fort Lupton, Colo. Over the 
years, they have grown significantly, opening numerous locations across 
the front range and Denver metro region. Since 1970, Salud's commitment 
to people has remained their top priority. As a non-profit, Salud's 
goal is to provide healthcare to those in the community that would not 
otherwise have access to affordable, quality health services. 
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the service provided by Salud has 
been invaluable for our community and my heartfelt appreciation goes to 
all the Salud staff and healthcare workers for taking such good care of 
our community during this difficult time.
  Congratulations to Salud Family Health Centers for 51 fantastic 
years, and I thank them for their numerous contributions to our 
community and state. We are lucky to have them in our community and 
wish them the best of luck in the coming years.
