  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Madam Speaker, as we celebrate 
Hispanic Heritage Month, I would like to bring attention to Molina 
Healthcare, a managed care organization that provides healthcare 
services to families and individuals eligible for government-sponsored 
programs.
  Thirty years ago, Dr. C. Molina, an emergency room physician, saw a 
need to provide quality healthcare for patients regardless of their 
financial status. Consequently, Molina Healthcare was started.
  Molina Healthcare is dedicated to addressing the disparities in 
healthcare in order to positively impact members' long term health and 
well-being. In addition, Molina Healthcare is devoted to serving the 
community and positively impacting the neighborhoods they serve.
  The vision of Molina Healthcare is consistent during Hispanic 
Heritage Month. They

understand the need to develop linguistically and culturally sensitive 
healthcare programs members. I applaud Molina Healthcare, for reaching 
out to low-income children and women in rural counties in Texas through 
the Children's Health Insurance and Prenatal Plan. Lastly, I 
congratulate Molina Healthcare, for being named the 2010 largest 
Hispanic-owned business in the United States by Hispanic Business 
Magazine.
