WHEREAS, Staff members of Radiology Associates have been |
|
honored by the American Cancer Society for their exemplary |
|
participation in the Corpus Christi Making Strides Against Breast |
|
Cancer walk; and |
|
WHEREAS, Each year, the American Cancer Society holds walks |
|
in nearly 300 communities across the nation; these events honor |
|
breast cancer survivors and raise awareness of how to reduce one's |
|
risk of developing the disease; the money collected enables the |
|
society to fund groundbreaking research and to provide 24-hour |
|
information and support, as well as a range of services for breast |
|
cancer patients; and |
|
WHEREAS, In 2014, a Radiology Associates team participated in |
|
the Corpus Christi Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, |
|
raising more than $66,000 for the cause and earning distinction as a |
|
Pacesetter Team; Radiology Associates stands out not only as the |
|
sole group in Corpus Christi to meet the $25,000 threshold for |
|
achieving Pacesetter honors, but also as one of the top 20 |
|
Pacesetter Teams in the nation, ranking 14th on a list that includes |
|
teams from a number of larger corporations; and |
|
WHEREAS, A group of board-certified radiologists and some 200 |
|
employees, Radiology Associates offers a full range of outpatient |
|
imaging services and has been designated as a Breast Imaging Center |
|
of Excellence by the American College of Radiology; and |
|
WHEREAS, By raising money as well as public awareness, the |
|
members of the Radiology Associates team have made a notable |
|
contribution in the fight against cancer, and they are indeed |
|
deserving of recognition for their outstanding efforts; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commend Radiology Associates for its commitment |
|
to combatting breast cancer and congratulate the organization on |
|
its stellar achievement in the 2014 Making Strides Against Breast |
|
Cancer walk; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Radiology Associates as an expression of high regard |
|
by the Texas House of Representatives. |
