1-4 the survival and recovery rate of those who suffer a sudden illness
1-5 or injury; and
1-6 WHEREAS, Thanks to efforts begun 25 years ago to establish
1-7 emergency care as a medical specialty, more than 500,000 emergency
1-8 medical technicians and paramedics, 70,000 nurses, and 23,000
1-9 physicians now provide lifesaving emergency care each day to
1-10 individuals across the nation; and
1-11 WHEREAS, With the added help of educators, administrators,
1-12 and others, these emergency medical services teams are ready to
1-13 intervene in life-threatening situations at a moment's notice; they
1-14 work around the clock, 365 days a year, and more than two-thirds of
1-15 these health care providers are volunteers who dedicate countless
1-16 hours to this noble effort; and
1-17 WHEREAS, The members of emergency medical services teams
1-18 participate in thousands of hours of specialized training and
1-19 continuing education to enhance their medical skills, and the
1-20 residents of the Golden Triangle area benefit daily from the
1-21 knowledge and skills of these highly trained individuals; and
1-22 WHEREAS, The observation of Emergency Medical Services Week
1-23 allows these outstanding health care professionals to further serve
1-24 the people of Southeast Texas by educating the public about injury
2-1 prevention and proper responses to medical emergencies; and
2-2 WHEREAS, Few people consider the importance of quality
2-3 emergency medical care until a crisis occurs, but when a natural
2-4 disaster or catastrophe strikes a community, citizens depend on the
2-5 preparation and quick response of emergency personnel; across Texas
2-6 and the nation, thousands of selfless men and women stand prepared
2-7 to answer that call, and those individuals are indeed deserving of
2-8 the highest praise, thanks, and recognition; now, therefore, be it
2-9 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
2-10 Legislature hereby designate May 23-29, 1993, as Emergency Medical
