H.R. No. 1400 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The UTMB Health Angleton Danbury Campus is marking | ||
the 50th anniversary of its founding in 2019, and this notable | ||
milestone is indeed deserving of special recognition; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established as Angleton Danbury General Hospital, | ||
the facility opened its doors to patients in Brazoria County in | ||
1969; since that time, it has benefited from the stewardship of a | ||
forward-looking board of directors and hospital administration | ||
team while growing and adapting to meet the needs of the community; | ||
efforts to keep pace with these needs have included the creation of | ||
a state-of-the-art surgical and cardiac care unit and the opening | ||
of the Frank W. Stevens Center for Health and Wellness, along with a | ||
major expansion project that took place from 2004 to 2006; in 2014, | ||
the hospital and The University of Texas Medical Branch at | ||
Galveston entered into a formal partnership, forming the UTMB | ||
Health Angleton Danbury Campus with the goal of providing | ||
exceptional and accessible care to the region's 60,000 residents; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, that partnership continues to reap many | ||
rewards for the region, having brought approximately 30 primary and | ||
specialty care providers to the Brazoria County market over the | ||
past five years; the UTMB Health Angleton Danbury Campus is also | ||
fortunate to enjoy the support of a dedicated auxiliary, which has | ||
contributed more than $1.6 million to the hospital and endowed | ||
numerous scholarships for local residents; and | ||
WHEREAS, The skillful and hardworking physicians, nurses, | ||
staff, and administrators of the UTMB Health Angleton Danbury | ||
Campus are building on a tradition of excellence, and the golden | ||
anniversary of the hospital offers a welcome opportunity to | ||
recognize the vital role that it has played in the community and in | ||
the lives of countless Texans; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor the UTMB Health Angleton Danbury Campus on | ||
its 50th anniversary and extend to all those responsible for the | ||
hospital's operations sincere best wishes for continued success; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the UTMB Health Angleton Danbury Campus as an | ||
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
Bonnen of Brazoria | ||
