WHEREAS, CHI St. Luke's Health-Memorial Livingston has been |
|
|
awarded the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval for Hospital |
|
|
Accreditation; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since 1951, the Joint Commission has sought to |
|
|
improve public health care by evaluating a wide variety of medical |
|
|
institutions and inspiring them to provide safe and effective care |
|
|
of the highest quality and value; to earn the Gold Seal of Approval, |
|
|
an organization must undergo a rigorous onsite survey every three |
|
|
years and demonstrate continuous compliance with industry |
|
|
standards; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Livingston's modern hospital began as a modest |
|
|
county-owned facility in 1950, and after CHI St. Luke's Health |
|
|
Memorial assumed ownership in 1994, the hospital transformed into |
|
|
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 the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of |
|
|
Approval for Hospital Accreditation and extend to its physicians, |
|
|
nurses, administrators, and other staff sincere best wishes for |
|
|
continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the hospital as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
