|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since its founding in 2005, the association has been |

|
dedicated to increasing access to quality health care for the |

|
|
products through corporate and national partnerships; and |

charitable Texas clinics, which together have almost 400,000 |
|
|
patient visits each year; chiefly staffed by a large volunteer base |
|
|
of physicians, nurses, dentists, and other medical professionals, |
|
|
these vital centers provide a practical alternative to costly |
|
|
hospital and emergency room care; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For 14 years, the Texas Association of Charitable |
|
|
Clinics has worked to make efficient and effective medical |
|
|
treatment available to those who may otherwise go without, and its |
|
|
efforts have had a profound and positive influence on the citizens |
|
|
of Texas; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize April 25, 2019, as Texas Charitable |
|
|
Clinic Day and extend to all involved with the clinics sincere best |
|
|
wishes for continued success with their important work; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Texas Association of Charitable Clinics as an |
|
|
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
