R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical
  Association are visiting the State Capitol on April 20, 2017, for
  Doctors of Osteopathic Medical Excellence (DOME) Day, and this
  occasion offers a welcome opportunity to recognize the important
  contributions that osteopathic physicians make 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; they pay particular
  attention to how nerves, muscles, bones, and organs work together
  to influence health, and through osteopathic manipulative
  treatment, DOs use their hands to diagnose injury and illness and
  stimulate the body's natural ability to heal itself; and
         WHEREAS, Representing osteopathic physicians across the
  state, the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association was founded in
  1900 by a group of five physicians; the organization is dedicated to
  advancing the philosophy and principles of osteopathic medicine and
  serving the needs of doctors within the field; and
         WHEREAS, Practitioners of osteopathic medicine play an
  essential role in maintaining the health and well-being of
  countless Texans, and these skilled professionals may indeed
  reflect with pride on the exceptional care they provide to their
  patients; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize April 20, 2017, as Doctors of
  Osteopathic Medical Excellence Day at the State Capitol; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That April 16-22, 2017, be recognized as Texas
  Osteopathic Medicine Week.
