operated by a staff of nearly 300 physicians, nurses, respiratory |
|
|
therapists, neonatal and pediatric nurse practitioners, and other |
|

professionals, the NICU remains a widely recognized, |
|
|
state-of-the-art facility, and it holds the distinction of being |

|
the birthplace of the twin daughters of George and Laura Bush; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With its integrated, family-centered services and |
|
|
advanced technology, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Baylor |
|

Jonathan Neerman and many other newborn Texans, and the efforts of |
|
|
its devoted staff are truly commendable; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Angela Quant Weinbrenner, Lisa Stone, and |
