WHEREAS, For 35 years, the outstanding volunteers of McGregor |
|
|
EMS have helped to save lives and provide vital medical care to |
|
|
their fellow residents; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Founded in 1978, McGregor EMS was established when a |
|
|
critical need for first responder medical services arose in the |
|
|
local community; the organization was initially supported by 36 |
|
|
dedicated individuals but quickly grew to include more than 50 |
|
|
volunteers; in addition to completing basic training, many of them |
|
|
went on to earn advanced certifications as emergency care |
|
|
attendants, emergency medical technicians, and paramedics; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The men and women of McGregor EMS worked to expand |
|
|
the level of care, soon upgrading from basic life support to |
|
|
advanced life support and thereby helping to improve the chances of |
|
|
survival for patients in critical condition; through the years, |
|
|
they have also shared their time and expertise to help other |
|
|
communities establish ambulance service; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, More than 100 volunteers have contributed to |
|
|
McGregor EMS during the past three and a half decades; these brave |
|
|
first responders have demonstrated an enduring dedication to |
|
|
providing urgent care to those in need, and area Texans owe an |
|
|
enormous debt of gratitude for their tireless efforts; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor the volunteers of McGregor EMS, past and |
|
|
present, and commend them for their valuable contributions to the |
|
|
community; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
