H.R. No. 1686
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Pharmacists from across the state are gathering in
  Austin on April 8, 2015, in celebration of Texas Pharmacy Day at the
  State Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, In Texas, the pharmacy profession has a long
  history; the 16th-century explorer Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca
  combined his knowledge of European medicine with information about
  remedies learned from Native Americans, and as early as 1682,
  Spanish missionaries in El Paso dispensed medicines; eventually,
  some colonial doctors prepared medicines in large quantities and
  displayed them on shelves in their homes or offices; and
         WHEREAS, The first permanent organization of Texas
  pharmacists, the Texas State Pharmaceutical Association, was
  founded in Dallas in 1879; known today as the Texas Pharmacy
  Association, the TPA continues to serve members practicing in all
  areas of the profession; and
         WHEREAS, Highly trained health care providers, pharmacists
  serve as specialists in the management and effective use of
  medications, and in recent years, they have played an increasingly
  prominent role in counseling patients on the safe and effective use
  of prescription medications; and
         WHEREAS, The knowledge and experience of pharmacists is vital
  to the well-being of their fellow Texans, and it is indeed fitting
  to honor distinguished members of this profession for their
  dedication to advancing the quality of health care in the Lone Star
  State; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize April 8, 2015, as Texas Pharmacy Day
  at the State Capitol and extend to all those participating sincere
  best wishes for an informative and enjoyable event.
