|
|
|

|
|

|
|
on November 10, 2023; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Incorporated as El Centro del Barrio in November |
|
|
1973, CentroMed provides medical, dental, and behavioral health |
|
|
services to families residing in San Antonio, New Braunfels, |
|
|
Schertz, Cibolo, Somerset, Windcrest, and Converse; its flagship |
|
|
clinic, the South Park Medical Care Clinic, opened in 1981, and |
|
|
its locations have since grown to include clinics throughout the |
|
|
San Antonio area that specialize in family medicine, pediatrics, |

|
|
poverty level; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, CentroMed operates under the leadership of |
|
|
its president and chief executive officer, Dr. Ernesto Gomez, |
|
|
who is recognized for his vision and commitment to improving the |
|
|
health and well-being of the community; during the 2022 fiscal |
|
|
year, CentroMed served more than 120,000 patients and received |
|
|
nearly 400,000 office visits; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the past five decades, CentroMed has |
|
|
contributed immeasurably to the health and quality of life of |
|
|
countless San Antonio area residents, and it is a pleasure to |
|
|
join in commemorating this significant milestone and in |
|
|
recognizing all those who have supported CentroMed throughout |
|
|
its existence; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
|

|
|
occasion of its 50th anniversary and extend to its board members, |

|
|
their important work; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
