Docket 0967 has been adopted. Mr. Clarke, if you would, please read in to the record docket 09680968. Councilor Murphy offer the following resolution recognizing August 7th through the 13th as National Community Health Center Week. Thank you, Mr. Clarke, and thank you to Counsel Arroyo. The Chair recognizes Counsel Murphy. Counsel Murphy. You have the full. I do. Council President Flynn. So August 7th through the 13th of this year marks the annual celebration of the National Community Health Center Week, honoring the extraordinary contributions our community health centers provide to every community across the nation. And here in Boston, we have 22 community health centers that serve one third of our residents in the city, including myself and my children. So the community health centers serve as a beacon of strength, service and care in their communities. And this National Health Center Week honors those frontline providers, staff and beloved patients who lost their lives during the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic. From the very beginning of the crisis, community health centers began finding groundbreaking ways to provide preventative and primary care to their patients. And we know the incredible work they did in trying to get the vaccines out. And all of the health centers do great work that I know many in East Boston and the Mattapan Health Center really came together and did great work trying to make sure that the residents were educated and had access to that. And each day of the National Community Health Center Week celebrates the work and services of health centers provide to the unique populations within their communities, and highlights the innovative solutions they produce to address the most pressing health care issues that our residents face. So I hope it be resolved that the Boston City Council recognizes August 7th through the 13th as National Community Health Centers Week, which will honor our critically important health care centers that keep our communities healthy and thriving. So I do ask that we suspend and pass this, please. Council President Flynn. Thank you. And thank you. Counsel Murphy. Would anyone else like to speak on this matter?
