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. |
