|
||
| WHEREAS, Moore County Hospital District (MCHD) was named a | ||
| Top Performer on Key Quality Measures by The Joint Commission in | ||
| September 2012; and | ||
| WHEREAS, An independent, nonprofit accreditation agency, The | ||
| Joint Commission certifies more than 19,000 health care | ||
| institutions nationwide; its annual Top Performers program | ||
| recognizes hospitals that achieve excellence in evidence-based | ||
| treatments for heart failure, pneumonia, children's asthma, and | ||
| stroke, among other conditions; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Inclusion among the Top Performers puts MCHD in the | ||
| top 18 percent of more than 3,400 accredited hospital systems | ||
| across the nation, and MCHD is one of only 244 hospitals that have | ||
| earned this distinction two years in a row; in addition, its | ||
| Memorial Home Health program has been placed by the commission | ||
| among the nation's top 25 percent of home health agencies; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For more than six decades, Moore County Hospital | ||
| District has provided outstanding hospital services for the | ||
| residents of the Panhandle, and this prestigious national | ||
| recognition represents a fitting tribute to the skill, hard work, | ||
| and care of the district's board of directors, health care | ||
| personnel, allied health personnel, volunteers, and | ||
| administration; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Moore County Hospital District on | ||
| being named a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures by The Joint | ||
| Commission and extend sincere best wishes to the members of the | ||
| district's board and staff for continued success in their important | ||
| work; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Moore County Hospital District as an expression of | ||
| high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
