  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Will-Grundy 
Medical Clinic in Joliet, Illinois, as it celebrates the one-year 
anniversary of its Wellness Program.
  For more than three decades, the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic has 
helped those in need receive the medical care they deserve. Through 
partnerships with local charities, hospitals, businesses and 
individuals, the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic has offered free medical 
and dental service to thousands of patients in our community.
  Last year, the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic launched the Wellness 
Program to encourage overall health in our area. Through this program, 
the volunteer medical and dental professionals not only treat patients, 
but also offer educational opportunities to promote healthy lifestyles. 
The Wellness Program features

classes on basic physical fitness, nutrition, and how to cook healthy, 
well-rounded meals on any budget.
  I would like to congratulate the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic on the 
one-year anniversary of its Wellness program and thank the staff and 
volunteers who work so hard to ensure that our community is a stronger, 
healthier place to raise a family.
