	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Health advocates from across the state are gathering
	at the State Capitol in Austin to celebrate Texas Promotores and
	Community Health Workers Day on May 18, 2015; and
	WHEREAS, Vital to the communities they serve, promotores work
	tirelessly for preventive care and wellness among the most
	vulnerable and underserved residents in minority populations;
	moreover, they help raise awareness for the early detection and
	treatment options for a range of illnesses as well as for pain and
	disease management; and
	WHEREAS, These dedicated specialists, caregivers, and
	patient navigators integrate education about general health and the
	public health care system into a diversity of cultures, languages,
	and value systems, improving access to health care, social
	services, and insurance statewide; in addition, they conduct
	outreach programs in residences, community centers, clinics,
	hospitals, schools, worksites, and shelters, as well as at local
	events, faith-based settings, and social service organizations;
	and
	WHEREAS, Enhancing the health and well-being of our fellow
	Texans is truly a noble calling, and the promotores and community
	health workers of the Lone Star State are most deserving of special
	commendation; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize May 18, 2015, as Texas Promotores and
	Community Health Workers Day at the State Capitol and extend to all
	those involved in this notable endeavor sincere best wishes for the
	future.
