  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.
