E2194 Congressional Record, Volume 146 Issue 155 (Friday, December 15, 2000) [Congressional Record Volume 146, Number 155 (Friday, December 15, 2000)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E2194] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] NORTH COAST HEALTH MINISTRY ______ HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH of ohio in the house of representatives Friday, December 15, 2000 Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize North Coast Health Ministry for their exemplary work in helping the uninsured and underinsured access health care services. As a volunteer organization, it fills an important need in my district for thousands of working families. North Coast Health Ministry operates clinics that are staffed by physicians, nurses and other staff who volunteer their time and services to provide comprehensive health care services. Started in 1986, NCHM has established relationships with health care professionals and three local hospitals to treat referred patients when they need additional care and treatment, including surgery and recovery. Since its inception, it has linked with other free clinics in the area to establish the Ohio Association of Free Clinics. This expanded network improves access to health care for the working poor throughout the state. Through the determination and initiative of the NCHM, the Ohio Association was recently awarded a $600,000 grant to continue and expand its services. I ask my colleagues to rise in recognizing the exemplary efforts of the North Coast Health Ministry and the many volunteers who have contributed to it. I commend them for their kind works and congratulate them on their grant. ____________________
