SENATE RESOLUTION
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
join the state's medical professionals and neurological surgeons |
|
|
in recognizing April 4, 2023, as Texas Association of |
|
|
Neurological Surgeons Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Association of Neurological Surgeons |
|
|
was established by Texas neurosurgeons on May 5, 1973, in Dallas |
|
|
at the recommendation of the Socio-Economic Committee of the |
|
|
American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the Congress |
|
|
of Neurological Surgeons, which proposed that every state with a |
|
|
sufficient number of neurosurgeons organize a state neurological |
|
|
society; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Committed to excellence in neurosurgical |
|
|
practice and education, the association promotes continued |
|
|
instruction in the related sciences and upholds ethical |
|
|
principles, policies, and practices for attaining the |
|
|
highest-quality of patient care; the association also provides a |
|
|
communication interface for engagement with other organizations |
|
|
and serves to represent neurosurgical opinion in the medical |
|
|
community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For more than 30 years, the association and its |
|
|
volunteer members have diligently advanced the practice of |
|
|
neurosurgery in Texas by providing member education, engaging in |
|
|
grassroots lobbying, and serving as advocates for thousands of |
|
|
patients; it is indeed fitting that all who contribute to the |
|
|
association and its efforts receive recognition on their many |
|
|
contributions to the health and well-being of Texans; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby recognize April 4, 2023, as Texas |
|
|
Association of Neurological Surgeons Day and extend to the |
|
|
association's members best wishes for a productive and enjoyable |
|
|
visit to the State Capitol; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
|
honor of this special occasion. |
