SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 393
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
join Texans across the state in observing March of 2019 as |
|
Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Approximately three million Americans live with |
|
bleeding disorders that can cause extended bleeding after |
|
injury, surgery, or trauma and that can be life-threatening if |
|
not treated effectively; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Bleeding disorders occur when the body lacks the |
|
platelets and proteins necessary for blood to clot or when those |
|
platelets and proteins do not function properly; the causes of |
|
bleeding disorders include severe liver disease, the lack of |
|
vitamin K, the effect of medicines, and hereditary conditions |
|
like hemophilia or von Willebrand disease; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, It is truly fitting that time be dedicated to |
|
raising awareness of the need for research on treatments and |
|
cures for bleeding disorders and of the importance of advocacy on |
|
behalf of those affected by the disorders; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend those working to prevent and treat |
|
bleeding disorders and extend to them best wishes for a productive |
|
Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
honor of Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month. |
