|
|
the state-of-the-art facility it is today, with 66 beds, nearly 60 |
|
|
highly dedicated physicians on staff, and more than 60,000 patient |
|
|
services provided annually; accredited since 2010, CHI St. Luke's |
|
|
has distinguished itself in such areas as emergency management, |
|
|
environment of care, infection prevention and control, leadership, |
|
|
and medication management; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, CHI St. Luke's Health-Memorial Livingston has |
|
|
worked tirelessly to provide skilled, compassionate, and |
|
|
affordable care to area Texans, and its recent accreditation is a |
|
|
testament to the hospital's ongoing commitment to excellence; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate CHI St. Luke's Health-Memorial |
|
|
Livingston on its receipt of T |
