|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
join the Texas Pharmacy Association in recognizing students who |
|
|
have chosen to dedicate themselves to the study of pharmacy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since 1879, the Texas Pharmacy Association has |
|
|
helped improve the quality of medication and pharmaceutical |
|
|
services in Texas; the group works to ensure the advancement, |
|
|
protection, and unification of the pharmacy profession and to |
|
|
assist patients in leading healthy lives; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In choosing to study pharmacy, students join a |
|
|
vital health profession whose members play a central role in |
|
|
maintaining the well-being of communities across the state; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, There are more than 20,000 pharmacists practicing |
|
|
in Texas today; they, along with student pharmacists and pharmacy |
|
|
technicians, help patients maximize the benefits attainable from |
|
|
their medications; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Pharmacists also safeguard the health of |
|
|
innumerable Texans by preventing drug-related contraindications |
|
|
and other conditions that can arise from the overlapping use of |
|
|
multiple medications; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The use of medication as a cost-effective |
|
|
alternative to expensive medical procedures is becoming a major |
|
|
force in the moderation of health care costs; pharmacists play an |
|
|
invaluable role not only in the lives of patients, but in the |
|
|
overall well-being of the Texas health care system; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend pharmacy students across the state |
|
|
for their dedication to the health of their fellow man and extend |
|
|
to them sincere appreciation for their ongoing contributions to |
|
|
the medical field; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
them as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
