| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||

| state in celebrating February 5, 2013, as Texas Promotores and | ||
| Community Health Workers Day at the Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since the turn of the century, promotores and | ||
| community health workers have been an invaluable resource in the | ||
| many communities they serve across Texas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, | ||
| WHEREAS, These devoted specialists and care givers | ||
| integrate information about general health and the public health | ||
| care system into the community's culture, language, and value | ||
| systems, improving access to health and social services; they | ||
| conduct outreach programs in residences, community centers, | ||
| clinics, hospitals, schools, worksites, and shelters, and at | ||
| local cultural events, faith-based locales, and social service | ||
| organizations; and | ||
| WHEREAS, These community health advocates provide | ||
| culturally and linguistically competent education and raise | ||
| awareness about the prevention and treatment of illness and about | ||
| disease management; these efforts improve the quality of care and | ||
| the level of compliance with prescribed care, ultimately saving | ||
| lives; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend all those participating in the Texas | ||
| Promotores and Community Health Workers Day at the State Capitol | ||
| and extend to them best wishes for a memorable celebration; and, | ||

| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of this special occasion. | ||
