| WHEREAS, The year 2016 marked the 25th anniversary of Texas | ||

| serving 111 counties and more than 18 million people in the eastern | ||

| them to better meet regional needs; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texas AHEC East is one of three such organizations | ||
| in the statewide AHEC network and part of a national network of | ||
| similar groups; these initiatives are unique among state-supported | ||
| health science center-based health improvement endeavors, as they | ||
| collaborate with a wide range of partners, including schools, | ||
| health care facilities, health professionals, local and state | ||
| agencies, and other health-related organizations; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For a quarter century, Texas AHEC East has played a | ||
| vital role in increasing access to high-quality health care in the | ||
| region, and it is indeed a pleasure to recognize the center for its | ||
| contributions; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the 25th anniversary of Texas Area | ||
| Health Education Center East and that all those associated with the | ||
| organization be extended sincere best wishes for continued success | ||
| with their important work; and, be it further | ||

| prepared for the center as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
