H.R. No. 1868

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) in Texas have
	contributed greatly to the health care system in the Lone Star
	State; and
	WHEREAS, Trained to consider the health of the whole person,
	DOs are fully licensed to prescribe medicine and to practice in all
	medical specialties, including surgery; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine at the
	University of North Texas Health Science Center trains osteopathic
	physicians to promote overall good health, not just the treatment
	of disease; the school's innovative applications-based curriculum
	highlights cutting-edge research, dedication to primary care,
	promotion of healthy aging, and the practice of rural medicine, and
	its students excel at both academic and clinical studies; and
	WHEREAS, Osteopathic physicians are ably represented across
	the state by the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association, which
	advances the philosophy and principles of osteopathic medicine; and
	WHEREAS, Doctors of osteopathic medicine play an essential
	role in the health care of countless Texans, and their contribution
	to the welfare and prosperity of the state is truly deserving of
	special recognition; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize April 19 through 25, 2015, as
	Osteopathic Medicine Week.
