SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1046
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the Migrant Clinicians Network on the auspicious |
|
|
occasion of its 25th anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Migrant Clinicians Network is a national, |
|
|
nonprofit organization devoted to helping health care providers |
|
|
and communities strengthen and improve medical services and |
|
|
infrastructure for migrants and other mobile poor populations; |
|
|
it traces its roots to a 1984 meeting of clinicians concerned |
|
|
about the lack of migrant-specific resources available to |
|
|
medical professionals; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Training and technical assistance provided by the |
|
|
Migrant Clinicians Network provides many of the elements needed |
|
|
to improve care and to increase knowledge about and foster |
|
|
creative solutions to the problems facing this underserved |
|
|
population; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This dedicated organization offers many resources |
|
|
to professionals, including clinical courses providing |
|
|
continuing education hours, in-depth consultations, and an |
|
|
award-winning website that has provided webcasts and other |
|
|
clinical program resources; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Migrant Clinicians Network relies on an array |
|
|
of collaborative relationships to provide the highest quality |
|
|
services; it is truly deserving of recognition for its commitment |
|
|
to advancing better health care for vulnerable populations; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the Migrant Clinicians Network on |
|
|
its exceptional work in helping migrants and the mobile poor |
|
|
receive quality health care and extend to its members best wishes |
|
|
for a memorable and rewarding 25th anniversary; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
this outstanding organization as an expression of high regard |
|
|
from the Texas Senate. |
