|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the physicians, residents, medical students, and |
|
|
advocate members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association, |
|
|
who are visiting the State Capitol on April 22, 2015; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Osteopathic Medical Association was |
|
|
founded by a group of five physicians in 1900; the ongoing mission |
|
|
of the association is to promote health care excellence for the |
|
|
people of Texas, to advance the distinct philosophy and principles |
|
|
of osteopathic medicine, and to loyally embrace the family of the |
|
|
osteopathic profession and serve their unique needs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, As primary care doctors or specialists, physician |
|
|
members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association encourage |
|
|
their patients to develop attitudes and lifestyles that help |
|
|
prevent and fight illness; they give special attention to how the |
|
|
body's nerves, muscles, bones, and organs work together to |
|

influence health; through osteopathic manipulative treatment, |
|
|
they can use their hands to diagnose injury and illness and |
|
|
encourage the body's natural ability to heal itself; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical |
|
|
Association 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; association members are visiting the State Capitol |
|
|
during National Osteopathic Medicine Week to celebrate Doctors |
|
|
of Osteopathic Medical Excellence Day, or D.O.M.E. Day; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby recognize and welcome the members of the |
|
|
Texas Osteopathic Medical Association as they visit the Texas |
|
|
Capitol on D.O.M.E. Day and proclaim April 19 through 25, 2015, |
|
|
as Texas Osteopathic Medicine Week; and, be it further |
