H.R. No. 630

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Dr. G. Ray Callas of Beaumont was presented with the
American Medical Association Medal of Valor in November 2018, in
recognition of his courageous efforts in the wake of Hurricane
Harvey; and
WHEREAS, The Category 4 storm made landfall in Southeast
Texas on August 25, 2017, bringing winds of 130 miles per hour and
inundating the region with more than 60 inches of rain; in the midst
of one of the nation's worst-ever flooding events, Dr. Callas
worked with hospitals and emergency response teams to secure
transportation for struggling patients to medical facilities that
could provide the care they needed, and he also volunteered his time
for days on end preparing and serving meals to residents who were
forced to evacuate their homes; and
WHEREAS, An anesthesiologist, Dr. Callas currently serves as
president of the Texas Society of Anesthesiologists; he further
shares his time and expertise with the Texas Medical Association
Board of Trustees, and he previously chaired the TMA's Council on
Legislation for two years; an engaged member of his community, he
has competed in Dancing with the Stars Beaumont, a fund-raising
event for local charities; and
WHEREAS, By stepping forward to offer his services at a time
of dire need, Dr. G. Ray Callas embodied the virtues of compassion,
dedication, and altruism that are fundamental to the medical
profession, and he is truly deserving of this prestigious honor;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Dr. G. Ray Callas on his receipt of
the American Medical Association's Medal of Valor and extend to him
sincere best wishes for continued success with his important work;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Dr. Callas as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
