|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Pediatric Society is celebrating its |
|
|
centennial in 2021, and this milestone provides a welcome |
|
|
opportunity to honor this respected medical organization; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Serving as the Texas Chapter of the American |
|
|
Academy of Pediatrics, the Texas Pediatric Society was founded on |
|
|
May 12, 1921, preceding the establishment of the national group |
|
|
by nine years; its mission stems from the belief that children |
|
|
are the Lone Star State's most important resource, and all |
|
|
members of the society share a commitment to promoting the health |
|
|
and well-being of young Texans; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With more than 4,600 members, the Texas Pediatric |
|
|
Society is a prominent voice in Texas health care; in addition to |
|
|
serving as an advocate for the pediatric medical community in the |
|
|
lawmaking and regulation process, the society plays a valuable |
|
|
role in keeping its membership informed on important issues; in |
|
|
all its endeavors, the organization is committed to advancing the |
|
|
vitality and viability of the practice of pediatrics throughout |
|
|
the state; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Every day, countless Texas children depend on the |
|
|
expertise, dedication, and compassion of our state's outstanding |
|
|
pediatricians, and it is a privilege to join in recognizing the |
|
|
organization that has supported these essential medical |
|
|
professionals over the past century; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby honor the Texas Pediatric Society on the |
|
|
occasion of its 100th anniversary and extend to all those |
|
|
associated with the organization sincere best wishes for the |
|
|
future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
