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.
