                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 29, 2013

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask the House of 
Representatives to join me in congratulating the National Alliance for 
Hispanic Health on its 40th anniversary of service to the residents of 
the District of Columbia and the national capital region.
  Founded in 1973, the National Alliance for Hispanic Health is the 
nation's foremost source of information on Hispanic health. Throughout 
its 40-year history, the National Alliance for Hispanic Health has been 
committed to improving the health of Hispanic communities throughout 
the United States. Growing from a small coalition of mental health 
providers, the National Alliance for Hispanic Health has become the 
largest network of Hispanic health and human services providers in the 
country.
  We appreciate the National Alliance for Hispanic Health's long 
presence in the District and its continued service to our city's 
growing Hispanic population. We are particularly pleased with the 
National Alliance for Hispanic Health's contributions to health-related 
research and its continued commitment to building a base of knowledge, 
increasing public awareness, sponsoring collaborative networks and 
strengthening community infrastructure not only in the District, but 
throughout the nation, too.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
celebrating the 40th anniversary of the National Alliance for Hispanic 
Health.
