	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Health care professionals and other interested
	citizens are gathering in Austin on May 11, 2017, to take part in
	Home Care and Hospice Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, The skilled workers who specialize in home care and
	hospice services provide high-quality and compassionate care for
	individuals and their families, especially in times of personal
	health crisis; and
	WHEREAS, Home care is a person-centered method of health care
	delivery for the elderly and for individuals with disabilities or
	chronic illnesses who would like to live independently and
	comfortably in their own homes for as long as possible; it is a
	growing alternative to unnecessary institution-based forms of
	health care and serves hundreds of thousands of Texans each year;
	and
	WHEREAS, Hospice care is a service that offers humane and
	comforting support to terminally ill patients and their families
	and includes pain control, palliative medical care, and social,
	emotional, and spiritual resources; and
	WHEREAS, Countless Texans benefit from the dedicated efforts
	of home care and hospice workers, and these noteworthy
	professionals are indeed deserving of special commendation for
	their contributions to the health and quality of life of citizens
	throughout the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize May 11, 2017, as Home Care and Hospice
	Day at the State Capitol and encourage all Texans to learn more
	about home care and hospice options for individuals in need.
