                        Thursday, July 31, 2014

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize the Russian 
River Health Center on the occasion of the organization's 40th 
Anniversary Celebration and National Health Centers Week on August 15, 
2014.
  For four decades, the Russian River Health Center has been recognized 
as an invaluable asset within the community and has continued to serve 
the growing and diverse needs of the people of West Sonoma County. The 
Center's HIV program has become a model and a leader in the integration 
of HIV care in a primary care setting and continues to provide care to 
people affected by the disease and reduce the spread of it in our 
community. In 2002, West County Health Centers became a Federally 
Qualified Health Center ensuring ongoing funding to care for low-income 
and uninsured patients.
  Russian River Health Center has had an incredible impact on the 
community it serves and will continue to provide vital health care for 
many years to come. Please join me in expressing hearty congratulations 
to the Russian River Health Center on the occasion of their fortieth 
anniversary.
