|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
join Texans across the state in observing February 21, 2017, as |
|
Texas Trauma and Emergency Healthcare Day at the State |
|
Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The health care professionals of the state's |
|
trauma system play a vital role in helping to keep Texans healthy |
|
and safe; these dedicated men and women stand ready to respond at |
|
a moment's notice to crisis situations ranging from motor vehicle |
|
accidents to natural disasters to such sudden medical |
|
emergencies as strokes and heart attacks; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas is home to 288 designated trauma |
|
facilities, which are supported by 22 trauma service area |
|
regional advisory councils; the state's more than 64,000 |
|
emergency medical services personnel, 42,000 nurses, and 2,000 |
|
trauma and emergency physicians work in cooperation to provide |
|
lifesaving care and rehabilitation services to the state's large |
|
and diverse population; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texans rely on the availability of professional |
|
and compassionate emergency medical help, and it is truly fitting |
|
that the men and women who provide that vital assistance receive |
|
special recognition for their invaluable contributions to making |
|
Texas safer and healthier; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend the state's trauma and health care |
|
workers on their hard work and tireless dedication and extend to |
|
them best wishes for a productive and memorable Texas Trauma and |
|
Emergency Healthcare Day; and, be it further |
