WHEREAS, The COVID-19 global pandemic has required health |
|
|
care professionals to confront extraordinary, evolving, and |
|
|
historic challenges, and the physicians, nurses, allied health care |
|
|
staff, support staff, and administration of Moore County Hospital |
|
|
District have, together as a professional health care team, |
|
|
heroically stood on the front lines in the war against this |
|
|
contagious and deadly virus, and they have resolutely persevered in |
|
|
the face of tremendous adversity wrought by the unseen enemy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, At the outset of the pandemic, hospitals throughout |
|
|
Texas, including Moore County Hospital District, intently focused |
|
|
on many matters, including preparedness measures, infection |
|
|
control protocols and screenings, personal protective equipment, |
|
|
and the coordination of response efforts with nearby hospitals; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The unwavering collective resolve and fortitude |
|
|
demonstrated by the staff of Moore County Hospital District is the |
|
|
latest chapter in the district's history of caring for its patients |
|
|
and the community; established in September 1948 as Memorial |
|
|
Hospital, Moore County Hospital District has since grown into a |
|
|
thriving health care organization with more than 300 employees; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although COVID-19 put a tremendous strain on |
|
|
hospitals across the country, the professional team of the Moore |
|
|
County Hospital District worked together to provide medical care to |
|
|
patients and to the community at large under extremely physically |
|
|
and mentally exhausting circumstances; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In resolutely facing, adapting to, and overcoming |
|
|
the ever-evolving and unprecedented health care circumstances |
|
|
thrust upon them, all associated with the hospital are indeed |
|
|
deserving of recognition for their tireless, heroic work on the |
|
|
front lines in the war against COVID-19; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend the physicians, nurses, and entire |
|
|
frontline personnel, including the support staff and |
|
|
administration, of the Moore County Hospital District for their |
|
|
outstanding, noble, and heroic service to the people of Moore |
|
|
County and the greater Texas Panhandle region; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the staff of the Moore County Hospital District as an |
|
|
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
