Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 147 (Thursday, September 17, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 147 (Thursday, September 17, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E953] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CELEBRATING THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LINCOLN TRAIL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM ______ HON. BRETT GUTHRIE of kentucky in the house of representatives Thursday, September 17, 2026 Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate an extraordinary milestone for the Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health System. Since opening in 1986, Lincoln Trail has responded to the unique needs of the communities it serves through tailored planning, preparation, and a commitment to developing effective behavioral and mental health solutions tailored to those they serve. Today, we celebrate their 40 years of service. Since its founding, Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health has instituted a variety of programs to support those in need. Most recently, Lincoln Trail significantly expanded its outpatient services to provide patients access to Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) for adults and adolescents addressing mental health and substance use needs, as well as Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP). Originally launching dedicated military programming in the early 2000s, Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health continues to provide inpatient and outpatient behavioral health and substance use services for active- duty service members, veterans, and first responders. The facility works closely with military families, including those stationed at Fort Knox and Fort Campbell in my district, and coordinates with military installations overseas to provide specialized behavioral health care for service members stationed across the United States and abroad. For 40 years Lincoln Trail has grown alongside its community, but its commitment to providing help, healing, compassion, and hope remains consistent through their decades of service. I congratulate them on this important milestone. ____________________
