|
this milestone presents a welcome opportunity to recognize its |
|
founder, Dr. Lyssa Ochoa, and her skilled clinical staff; and |
|
WHEREAS, Dr. Ochoa, a board certified vascular surgeon, |
|
established SAVE to address the need of San Antonio's growing |
|
population for compassionate, personalized, and advanced vascular |
|
care; the clinic works alongside primary care physicians, |
|
specialists, and other community partners to create individualized |
|
treatment plans for its patients, and it helps patients in managing |
|
their condition through lifestyle-change education, close |
|
follow-up care, and additional support; and |
|
WHEREAS, SAVE has enjoyed a highly productive first year of |
|
operation, during which time the clinic has forged vital |
|
partnerships with hospitals, schools, and other institutions to |
|
promote health screenings and preventative care; Dr. Ochoa herself |
|
has been invited to speak at the International Diabetic Foot |
|
Conference in Houston, and she has led her clinic in developing a |
|
network of professionals across multiple specialties; under her |
|
leadership, SAVE has grown to employ 15 people in an area of South |
|
San Antonio that is in need of economic development, and she |
|
recently had the distinction of being named one of 2019's Health |
|
Care Heroes by the San Antonio Business Journal; and |
|
WHEREAS, Over the past year, the San Antonio Vascular and |
|
Endovascular Clinic has helped numerous San Antonio residents to |
|
lead healthier lives, and it is a pleasure to honor Dr. Lyssa Ochoa |
|
and those who are working alongside her to ensure that SAVE's |
|
patients are treated to the highest standards of care; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
