                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 23, 2017

  Mr. ADERHOLT. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize the Quality of Life 
Health Services (QOLHS) on the occasion of its 40th anniversary. This 
Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), was founded by Dr. Roberta O. 
Watts to provide health care to the most vulnerable populations.
  QOLHS, based m Gadsden, Alabama, is the state's largest community 
health program. The organization's network extends from the northern 
area of Alabama in Geraldine to Phenix City in the southeastern corner 
of Alabama. QOLHS's network consists of 24 health centers. Fifteen of 
those locations are in Alabama's Fourth Congressional District--which I 
am honored to represent.
  I am proud to be a long-time supporter of QOLHS, helping to support 
numourous federal grants, attending the groundbreaking and grand 
opening of a school-based program in Gadsden, and joining in other 
events over the years.
  Quality of Life serves over 55,000 patients each year and shows a 
profound commitment to the communities it serves. Let me end by 
congratulating Dr. Watts for her years of dedication, and a very 
special congratulations to Wayne Rowe--who has served as CEO for the 
past 35 years. I look forward to continuing to work with QOLHS in the 
future.
