R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Drs. Jorge Trevino, Rafael Garza, and Mario Ramirez of Hidalgo and Starr Counties have each brought thousands of Texans into the world and had a profound impact on their community and the medical profession as practicing physicians for more than 50 years; and WHEREAS, These esteemed professionals have long been known for maintaining high standards of care for their patients; when they started their careers, each made house calls and charged five dollars for an office visit; today, after more than five decades in practice, Dr. Trevino still runs a clinic, while Drs. Garza and Ramirez continue their work at an area hospital and mentoring students who are pursuing careers in medicine; and WHEREAS, Between them, these physicians have received countless awards and have served as inspiring role models for those who will follow in their footsteps; all three have distinguished themselves as president of the Hidalgo-Starr County Medical Society, and Drs. Garza and Ramirez have also acted as president of the Texas Association of Family Practice; and WHEREAS, The health and well-being of our state's citizens depend on medical professionals like Drs. Trevino, Garza, and Ramirez, who treat their patients with compassion and wisdom; it is a privilege to join the citizens of Hidalgo and Starr Counties in recognizing nearly 50 years of service from these much-admired physicians; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas Legislature hereby honor Drs. Jorge Trevino, Rafael Garza, and Mario Ramirez for their contributions to their community and to the medical profession and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for these outstanding physicians as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
