  H.R. No. 552
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, For 125 years, Parkland Health & Hospital System has
  been a trusted resource for Dallas County residents and a model of
  socially conscious health care for medical centers around the
  country; and
         WHEREAS, Parkland Memorial Hospital opened its doors on May
  19, 1894, with a benevolent mission to serve the community's poor;
  although the establishment of the institution came at a time when
  few technologies existed, the foundation upon which it was
  built--the right of all people to state-of-the-art health care,
  regardless of financial status--would weather more than a century
  of political, social, and economic change; the hospital stood
  through the Great Depression, two world wars, and the civil rights
  movement and was propelled into the national consciousness on
  November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy died within its
  walls; and
         WHEREAS, Today, Parkland is a world-renowned health care
  provider featuring outstanding trauma and burn centers, one of the
  busiest labor and delivery departments in the nation, and an
  abiding focus on innovation and cost efficiency; the 21st century
  has brought unique challenges to hospitals, and through a
  pioneering approach to population health management that involves
  addressing the social determinants of health and using predictive
  analytics and telemedicine, Parkland is committed to improving
  medical outcomes for all while practicing good financial
  stewardship; and
         WHEREAS, Parkland's patient care services include its Victim
  Intervention Program/Rape Crisis Center and HIV/AIDS Clinic, and it
  is home to the headquarters of both the Injury Prevention Center of
  Greater Dallas as well as the North Texas Poison Center; in
  addition, through continued support for its Community Oriented
  Primary Care system, medicine is being brought directly to
  underserved local residents, including members of Dallas County's
  homeless population; and
         WHEREAS, The long and distinguished history of Parkland
  Health & Hospital System has been shaped by the exceptional skill,
  compassion, and commitment of its physicians, staff, and
  administrators, and their ongoing pursuit of excellence will be
  integral as the health system continues to build on its stellar
  reputation in the decades to come; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Parkland Health & Hospital System
  on 125 years of service to the people of Dallas County and extend to
  all those associated with the health system sincere best wishes for
  continued success; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Parkland as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
