           RECOGNIZING THE KOREAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY SERVICES

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE QUIGLEY

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 16, 2009

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the Korean 
American Community Services and its 32nd Annual Health Fair. The Korean 
American Community Services has partnered with many health 
organizations over the past 32 years in holding its Annual Health Fair. 
Through the fair, the Korean American Community Services reaffirms its 
strong commitment to individual and family health and has become a 
celebration of the collective well-being of the community.
  The Korean American Community Services organizes and coordinates 
Federal, State and community-based health services. These services aim 
to ensure that immigrant families who are often uninsured are able to 
gain access to necessary health services. In order to do this the 
Korean American Community Service offers referral services, case 
management, interpretation, outreach and public benefit workshops. 
Annually, more than 8,000 people benefit from these services as they 
continue to promote and protect health in the community.
  It is my honor to recognize the Korean American Community Services 
and its 32nd Annual Health Fair. The Annual Health Fair is significant 
as it continues to recognize and uphold the importance of health in the 
community. I thank the Korean American Community Services for its 
Annual Health Fair and its continued dedication to strengthening the 
community.
