  Mr. CASTRO of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of National 
Public Health Week and the UT School of Public Health San Antonio. It 
is an honor to shed light onto a mission devoted to strengthening our 
communities, improving quality of life, and ensuring that everyone has 
equal access to quality health and wellness services.
  Health extends beyond clinics and hospitals. It is the cornerstone of 
a strong nation. By engaging our communities, public health workers 
address health care disparities and implement competent wellness 
programs that provide essential services to diverse communities.
  The opening of the UT School of Public Health San Antonio--the newest 
addition to the UT Health San Antonio system--underscores the 
dedication to implementing tools that lead to a healthier life. The 
institution is a step forward in addressing the challenges faced by 
communities in San Antonio and South Texas. Through cutting edge-
research, the new generation of public health workers will drive our 
nation forward.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize and bring attention to this 
special celebration.
