| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| join Texans across the state in observing February 21, 2017, as | ||
| Texas Trauma and Emergency Healthcare Day at the State | ||
| Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The health care professionals of the state's | ||
| trauma system play a vital role in helping to keep Texans healthy | ||
| and safe; these dedicated men and women stand ready to respond at | ||
| a moment's notice to crisis situations ranging from motor vehicle | ||
| accidents to natural disasters to such sudden medical | ||
| emergencies as strokes and heart attacks; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texas is home to 288 designated trauma | ||
| facilities, which are supported by 22 trauma service area | ||
| regional advisory councils; the state's more than 64,000 | ||
| emergency medical services personnel, 42,000 nurses, and 2,000 | ||
| trauma and emergency physicians work in cooperation to provide | ||
| lifesaving care and rehabilitation services to the state's large | ||
| and diverse population; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texans rely on the availability of professional | ||
| and compassionate emergency medical help, and it is truly fitting | ||
| that the men and women who provide that vital assistance receive | ||
| special recognition for their invaluable contributions to making | ||
| Texas safer and healthier; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the state's trauma and health care | ||
| workers on their hard work and tireless dedication and extend to | ||
| them best wishes for a productive and memorable Texas Trauma and | ||
| Emergency Healthcare Day; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of this special occasion. | ||
