             CELEBRATING THE KAPTUR-ROGOWSKI HOUSE OPENING

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise with profound gratitude to 
congratulate and celebrate Erie County Health Department's new Kaptur-
Rogowski House, a new landmark of compassion and community impact that 
just opened in northwest Ohio. I thank Erie County Health Commissioner 
Pete Schade and his marvelous committee.
  This new facility, born from a vision of healing and supported by a 
broad partnership of community, is more than just a building. It is a 
beacon of hope for those facing mental health crises, substance abuse 
recovery, and other urgent health needs.
  The Kaptur-Rogowski House offers a sanctuary where individuals can 
find respite, receive treatment, and begin their journey toward 
recovery with the support of dedicated professionals.
  I am thrilled to see this vision come to life in honor of our mother, 
father, and brother's legacy and reflecting our community's values of 
empathy and support.
  Our work is far from over. This is just one giant step to longer-term 
treatment and a continued effort to ensure every person in America has 
access to the care and support they require.

  Thank you to everyone who has made this possible. Together, we are 
building a better America by making a lasting difference one life at a 
time.
