  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Maria Zubia 
for her contributions to our community as Director of Community 
Outreach at Kids First Health Care.
  Kids First Health Care is a non-profit pediatric organization that 
provides health care services to underserved and low-income families. 
In her role at the organization, Maria worked tirelessly to build 
relationships and serve the families of Adams County. Her important 
work helped to spread awareness of the opportunities offered by Kids 
First Health Care, and helped make health care services more accessible 
through broader promotion via text messaging, online enrollment, and 
other platforms to make it easier for people to connect with affordable 
pediatric care.
  Maria began working for Kids First Health Care in 2001. She has 
served her community and the families of Adams County through Kids 
First and as a Adams 14 school board member. Maria has a passion for 
ensuring all children receive quality education and healthcare, 
including making sure bilingualism is integrated in the services 
provided through Adams County. I am incredibly grateful for the 
important work that Ms. Zubia has done with Kids First Health Care to 
support the families of Adams County, and I look forward to her future 
contributions to our community and wish her all the best in the next 
phase of her career.
