WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical |
|
|
Association are celebrating Doctors of Osteopathic Medical |
|
|
Excellence (DOME) Day with a virtual event on April 20, 2021, and |
|
|
this occasion offers a welcome opportunity to recognize the |
|
|
important contributions that osteopathic physicians make to the |
|
|
health care system in the Lone Star State; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Osteopathic Medical Association was |
|
|
founded in 1900 by a group of five physicians in order to promote |
|
|
health care excellence for the people of Texas, to advance the |
|
|
distinct philosophy and principles of osteopathic medicine, and to |
|
|
serve the needs of the osteopathic profession; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, As primary care doctors or specialists, physician |
|
|
members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association help their |
|
|
patients develop attitudes and lifestyles that prevent illness, not |
|
|
just fight it; they give special attention to how the body's nerves, |
|
|
muscles, bones, and organs work together to influence health, and |
|
|
through osteopathic manipulative treatment, they use their hands to |
|
|
diagnose injury and illness and encourage the body's natural |
|
|
ability to heal itself; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The physicians, residents, medical students, and |
|
|
advocate members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association play |
|
|
an essential role in the health care of countless Texans, and their |
|
|
contributions to the welfare and prosperity of the state is truly |
|
|
deserving of special recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize April 20, 2021, as Doctors of |
|
|
Osteopathic Medical Excellence Day; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That April 18 through 24, 2021, be recognized as |
|
|
Texas Osteopathic Medicine Week. |
