WHEREAS, Providence Health Center in Waco has been named a
Top 100 Hospital in the 2005 Solucient National Benchmarks for
Success study; and
WHEREAS, Founded in 1905 with the sponsorship of the

clinical, operational, and financial performance in overall
service, and organizes superior hospitals in categories according
to their size; three times previously, Solucient has named
Providence Health Center a Top 100 Heart Hospital, and HealthGrades
recognized it for its orthopedic services and attention to patient
safety; and
WHEREAS, For more than a century, Providence Health Center
has provided exceptional medical care to members of the Waco
community, and its placement in the Top 100 Hospitals justly honors
its outstanding record of service; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Providence
Health Center on its selection as a Top 100 Hospital in the 2005
