SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 427
|
|
|
WHEREAS, A delegation of leaders from CHRISTUS Santa Rosa |
|
|
Health System is gathering on March 24, 2015, to take part in the |
|
|
institution's Advocacy Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health System is a Catholic |
|
|
institution that provides not-for-profit medical care to San |
|
|
Antonio and the surrounding region; founded in 1869 by the Sisters |
|
|
of Charity of the Incarnate Word, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa continues the |
|
|
order's healing ministry through five full-service hospitals and a |
|
|
number of specialty centers treating both adults and children; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In an effort to extend its reach to even more young |
|
|
patients, the system is transforming its campus in the heart of |
|
|
downtown San Antonio into a world-class, freestanding children's |
|
|
hospital; the revamped facility will boast expanded programs, |
|
|
services, and research capabilities, further enhancing CHRISTUS |
|
|
Santa Rosa's reputation as a premier source of pediatric care; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This worthy new undertaking benefits from a |
|
|
partnership with Baylor College of Medicine, one of the leading |
|
|
medical schools in the United States; the college has pledged to |
|
|
recruit more than 170 pediatric specialists to the Children's |
|
|
Hospital of San Antonio to offer expertise in oncology, |
|
|
cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, surgery, and other |
|
|
disciplines; the first 10 members of Baylor's new pediatric |
|
|
residency program based at the hospital are slated to begin their |
|
|
training in July; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health System has long served |
|
|
as a beacon of hope in the San Antonio community, and on this |
|
|
special occasion, it is indeed fitting to honor the tireless |
|
|
commitment of its administrators, physicians, and staff to |
|
|
ensuring their patients the highest possible quality of care; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 84th Texas Legislature |
|
|
hereby recognize March 24, 2015, as CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health |
|
|
System Advocacy Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm |
|
|
welcome to members of the system's leadership team who are |
|
|
visiting Austin today. |
