SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 34
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Barbara Adamson for her exceptional efforts through |
|
|
the Care Van Program to help the children of Texas lead healthier |
|
|
lives; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Barbara Adamson developed the Care Van Program in |
|
|
1997; one of the most comprehensive and innovative immunization |
|
|
outreach programs in the state, it has provided more than 858,000 |
|
|
immunizations to 515,000 children since its inception; the |
|
|
program is supported by the Caring For Children Foundation of |
|
|
Texas and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Immunizing children is one of the most direct, |
|
|
simple, and inexpensive ways to build healthier futures for |
|
|
medically underserved families in Texas, yet one in four children |
|
|
in the state go without the immunizations needed to lead a |
|
|
healthy, happy life due to financial or logistical constraints; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Care Van Program, which uses a fleet of 10 |
|
|
specialized vans, has served children in Austin, Houston, San |
|
|
Antonio, El Paso, Abilene, San Angelo, Amarillo, Wichita Falls, |
|
|
and the Dallas and Fort Worth area; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Care Van Program is more than a job for its |
|
|
founder and manager; for Barbara Adamson, it is a labor of love; a |
|
|
compassionate and caring individual, she is a cancer survivor, a |
|
|
community volunteer, and an exemplary role model; her dedication |
|
|
and leadership have made a real difference in the lives and |
|
|
futures of thousands of her fellow citizens, and she is most |
|
|
deserving of legislative recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd |
|
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Barbara Adamson |
|
|
for her commitment to protecting the health of children and her |
|
|
success with the Care Van Program and extend to her best wishes |
|
|
for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
