CELEBRATING THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LINCOLN TRAIL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

                                 ______

                      Thursday, September 17, 2026

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate an extraordinary 
milestone for the Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health System. Since opening 
in 1986, Lincoln Trail has responded to the unique needs of the 
communities it serves through tailored planning, preparation, and a 
commitment to developing effective behavioral and mental health 
solutions tailored to those they serve. Today, we celebrate their 40 
years of service.
  Since its founding, Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health has instituted a 
variety of programs to support those in need. Most recently, Lincoln 
Trail significantly expanded its outpatient services to provide 
patients access to Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) for adults 
and adolescents addressing mental health and substance use needs, as 
well as Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP).
  Originally launching dedicated military programming in the early 
2000s, Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health continues to provide inpatient 
and outpatient behavioral health and substance use services for active-
duty service members, veterans, and first responders. The facility 
works closely with military families, including those stationed at Fort 
Knox and Fort Campbell in my district, and coordinates with military 
installations overseas to provide specialized behavioral health care 
for service members stationed across the United States and abroad.
  For 40 years Lincoln Trail has grown alongside its community, but its 
commitment to providing help, healing, compassion, and hope remains 
consistent through their decades of service. I congratulate them on 
this important milestone.
