WHEREAS, Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy |
|
|
students from across the state are gathering in Austin on February |
|
|
28, 2017, in celebration of Texas Pharmacy Day at the State Capitol; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The pharmacy profession has a distinguished history |
|
|
in Texas stretching back to the 17th century, when Spanish |
|
|
explorers and missionaries dispensed medicines and learned about |
|
|
Native American remedies; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Dedicated to the health and well-being of the |
|
|
public, pharmacists ensure that customers receive the proper |
|
|
medications and provide invaluable advice; pharmacists today serve |
|
|
as the primary point of contact with the health care system for more |
|
|
than 62 million Americans, and they play an increasingly important |
|
|
role in counseling patients on the safe and effective use of |
|
|
prescription medications; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Pharmacists work to provide affordable, lifesaving |
|
|
medications in rural areas across Texas and the United States; |
|
|
these valued members of the community live and work alongside |
|
|
patients as neighbors, friends, and community leaders in addition |
|
|
to their role as medical providers; such lasting relationships |
|
|
build trust and confidence, making pharmacists better able to serve |
|
|
as a resource when questions and concerns arise; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Champions on the front lines of health care, |
|
|
pharmacists contribute immeasurably to the quality of life in their |
|
|
communities, and it is truly a pleasure to recognize members of this |
|
|
key profession for their commitment to strengthening the health |
|
|
care system in the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 28, 2017, as Texas Pharmacy |
|
|
Day at the State Capitol and extend to all those participating |
|
|
sincere best wishes for an informative and enjoyable event. |
