SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 17
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the state's certified registered nurse anesthetists |
|
and to join them in celebrating January 24 through 30, 2021, as |
|
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists Week in Texas; and |
|
WHEREAS, Certified registered nurse anesthetists are |
|
advanced practice registered nurses who play an essential role in |
|
our health care system; they are the sole anesthesia providers in |
|
the majority of rural Texas counties and the primary providers of |
|
anesthesia care to United States military personnel; and |
|
WHEREAS, Nurse anesthetists work across a broad spectrum |
|
of medical settings, and they administer anesthetics to millions |
|
of patients each year; their expertise is a vital part of care in |
|
traditional surgical environments and in a wide range of other |
|
medical facilities, including general practice offices and |
|
specialty clinics; and |
|
WHEREAS, Among the nation's most trusted health care |
|
professionals, nurse anesthetists are the first nursing |
|
specialty group to be accorded direct reimbursement rights by |
|
Medicare; and |
|
WHEREAS, Texas is home to nearly 5,000 nurse anesthetists |
|
who have devoted their careers to serving the citizens of the |
|
Lone Star State; it is truly fitting that a week be set aside to |
|
honor their many contributions to the health and well-being of |
|
Texans; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend all those who serve as certified |
|
registered nurse anesthetists in Texas for the important role |
|
they play in the provision of quality health care and extend to |
|
them best wishes for a memorable Certified Registered Nurse |
|
Anesthetists Week in Texas; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
honor of these dedicated health care specialists. |
