WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the state's certified registered nurse anesthetists | ||
and to join them in celebrating January 24 through 30, 2021, as | ||
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists Week in Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Certified registered nurse anesthetists are | ||
advanced practice registered nurses who play an essential role in | ||
our health care system; they are the sole anesthesia providers in | ||
the majority of rural Texas counties and the primary providers of | ||
anesthesia care to United States military personnel; and | ||
WHEREAS, Nurse anesthetists work across a broad spectrum | ||
of medical settings, and they administer anesthetics to millions | ||
of patients each year; their expertise is a vital part of care in | ||
traditional surgical environments and in a wide range of other | ||
medical facilities, including general practice offices and | ||
specialty clinics; and | ||
WHEREAS, Among the nation's most trusted health care | ||
professionals, nurse anesthetists are the first nursing | ||
specialty group to be accorded direct reimbursement rights by | ||
Medicare; and | ||
WHEREAS, Texas is home to nearly 5,000 nurse anesthetists | ||
who have devoted their careers to serving the citizens of the | ||
Lone Star State; it is truly fitting that a week be set aside to | ||
honor their many contributions to the health and well-being of | ||
Texans; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend all those who serve as certified | ||
registered nurse anesthetists in Texas for the important role | ||
they play in the provision of quality health care and extend to | ||
them best wishes for a memorable Certified Registered Nurse | ||
Anesthetists Week in Texas; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of these dedicated health care specialists. | ||
