H.R. No. 45

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Ibn Sina Foundation is making a positive
	difference in the Greater Houston area by providing low-cost
	preventative and primary health care to residents in need; and
	WHEREAS, Established in 2001, the Ibn Sina Foundation was
	formed by a group of local physicians and professionals to help meet
	the health care needs of a rapidly expanding population of
	underserved families; the foundation started with one clinic and
	one part-time employee in 2001, and it served families with limited
	access to preventative care and very few resources to pay for it;
	today, Ibn Sina has more than 90 staff members and 7 community
	clinics in Harris, Fort Bend, and Jefferson Counties, and it has had
	over one million patient visits to date; and
	WHEREAS, The Ibn Sina Foundation aims to improve the quality
	of life and enhance the life expectancy of underprivileged and
	uninsured individuals; in keeping with this mission, it offers
	inexpensive preventative and primary medical, dental, diagnostic,
	specialty, behavioral health, and children's health services, and
	it focuses on the prevention and control of diseases at an early
	stage; to give patients the most comprehensive and affordable care,
	Ibn Sina partners with other nonprofit organizations, government
	agencies, and hospitals to provide referral services for indigent
	communities; and
	WHEREAS, Recently, the Ibn Sina Foundation has expanded its
	mental health services and created an additional building to
	provide integrative mental and behavioral health care to members of
	the community; and
	WHEREAS, For more than two decades, the Ibn Sina Foundation
	has distinguished itself as a vital resource within its community,
	and it is a pleasure to join in commending the organization for its
	valuable contributions to the health and well-being of area
	citizens; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize the Ibn Sina Foundation for its
	service to the Greater Houston area and extend to all those
	associated with the organization sincere best wishes for continued
	success with its important work; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the foundation as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
