WHEREAS, The Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center Society is |
|
|
celebrating Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center Advocacy Day on April |
|
|
14, 2021; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A growing alternative to hospitalization for acute |
|
|
care, ambulatory surgery centers perform outpatient procedures |
|
|
that enable individuals to check out the same day and recover in the |
|
|
comfort of their own home; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Many common procedures, such as cataract removal, |
|
|
colonoscopies, knee arthroscopies, and tonsillectomies, are now |
|
|
performed in surgery centers; licensed by the Texas Department of |
|
|
State Health Services, these facilities employ numerous health care |
|
|
professionals across the state and treat hundreds of thousands of |
|
|
patients each year; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By providing convenient, high-quality medical care |
|
|
at a comparatively low cost, ambulatory surgery centers are helping |
|
|
to ensure the health and well-being of countless Texas residents, |
|
|
and they are indeed deserving of recognition for the important role |
|
|
they play in the state's health care system; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center |
|
|
Advocacy Day on April 14, 2021, and commend the Texas Ambulatory |
|
|
Surgery Center Society for its work; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the society as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
