	H.R. No. 615



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Guinxe Gabriel, director of pharmacy services at
	CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi—South, has helped to deliver
	lifesaving medical care to thousands of people in his homeland of
	Haiti; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Gabriel first led a group of 13 physicians and
	nurses to Haiti in 2010, after it was ravaged by an earthquake in
	January of that year; the group traveled at their own expense, and,
	using donated antibiotics and other medications, treated more than
	1,000 residents over the course of a five-day trip; and
	WHEREAS, Since that time, Mr. Gabriel's team has expanded and
	has partnered with Northern New York Hope for Haiti, a nonprofit
	organization that builds and operates health clinics in that
	country; Mr. Gabriel has continued to visit Haiti for medical work
	twice a year, in the fall with a group that primarily treats
	patients with infectious diseases and in the spring with a group
	whose physicians chiefly perform surgeries; after Hurricane
	Matthew struck the southern part of Haiti in October 2016, NNY Hope
	for Haiti ventured to one of the areas that was hit hardest by the
	storm and provided essential medical care, including treatment for
	infections and malnutrition, to over 1,500 individuals; and
	WHEREAS, Embodying the highest ideals of his profession,
	Guinxe Gabriel has given of himself and his knowledge to alleviate
	the suffering of people in direst need, and his selfless, steadfast
	efforts continue to inspire the profound respect and admiration of
	all who know him; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby honor Guinxe Gabriel for his medical missions to
	Haiti and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success
	with his vital work; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mr. Gabriel as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
