                         Friday, June 24, 2022

  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the 40th 
Anniversary of Thunder Bay Community Health Service, Inc. (TBCHS) of 
northeast Michigan. Throughout their many years of service in 
healthcare, TBCHS has displayed steadfast devotion to their community 
and has become a crucial part of Michigan's First District.
  Thunder Bay Community Health Service was founded in 1980 by a group 
of Michiganders motivated to create greater access to primary care 
services in the Great Lakes region. TBCHS opened their first clinic in 
Hillman, Michigan, in 1982 while also becoming a National Health 
Service Corporation solo practice. Today, they are a non-profit 
Federally Qualified Health Center, allowing them to provide a broad 
variety of much-needed programs and services within rural areas.
  Throughout the years, TBCHS has continued to expand--building 
facilities to support the people of Montmorency, Alpena, Cheboygan, 
Otsego, and Presque Isle Counties. Most recently, they opened their 
site in Fairview, adding Oscoda County to their community of care. 
TBCHS prides itself on offering services such as dental and general 
health to ensure their population can find proper care, creating 
healthier Michigan communities.
  Madam Speaker, it's my honor to recognize Thunder Bay Community 
Health Service, Inc. for decades of success and service to northeastern 
Michigan. Michiganders can take great pride in knowing the First 
District is home to such dedicated citizens. On behalf of my 
constituents, I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
