  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, this year, Bond County's 
Health Department celebrates fifty years of serving the community.
  For five decades, healthcare professionals at Bond County Health 
Department have provided citizens with important health services such 
as immunizations, dental clinics, maternal and child health education, 
and much more. Their mission to promote good health, safety, and 
sanitation has helped thousands of people across the area.
  The Bond County Health Department has excelled at meeting the needs 
of the population it serves. Whether it be assisting seniors with home 
healthcare, inspecting the food safety of community restaurants, or 
helping new parents with infant and child resources, Bond County Health 
Department has been an important part of southwestern Illinois. For 
half a century, they have worked to improve public health in the region 
and have provided valuable education to the citizens of Bond County.
  I understand the important role of institutions like Bond County 
Health Department and I commend its staff for all of their hard work 
over the years. Congratulations on your 50th anniversary, and I wish 
you all the best in the years to come.
