WHEREAS, The COVID-19 pandemic has required health care |
|
providers to grapple with a range of unprecedented challenges, and |
|
the physicians, nurses, administrators, and other staff members at |
|
Knapp Medical Center in Weslaco have distinguished themselves by |
|
providing Hidalgo County residents with the highest standards of |
|
care; and |
|
WHEREAS, In meeting this global health crisis, hospital |
|
workers have been forced to adapt to rapidly changing |
|
circumstances; as the scale of the pandemic has grown at an alarming |
|
pace, medical professionals have attended to increasingly crowded |
|
emergency rooms, hospital wards, and intensive care units, where |
|
they have continued to heroically perform their duties under |
|
difficult and extremely stressful conditions; and |
|
WHEREAS, The dedicated staff members at Knapp Medical Center |
|
have met these challenges with tremendous resolve; this includes |
|
not only physicians, nurses, and other frontline personnel, but |
|
also those in leadership positions, who have developed and |
|
implemented new strategies for navigating the ongoing crisis; and |
|
WHEREAS, Through their exemplary work, the accomplished |
|
professionals at Knapp Medical Center have brought hope to their |
|
community in this time of uncertainty, and in so doing, they have |
|
earned the heartfelt gratitude of the Texans they serve; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby honor the physicians, nurses, administrators, |
|
and other staff members at Knapp Medical Center for their inspiring |
|
efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic and commend them on a job well |
|
done; 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. |
