| WHEREAS, Members of the health care community are gathering | ||
| in Austin on February 17, 2015, to observe Texas Trauma and | ||
| Emergency Health Care Day; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The health care professionals of the Texas trauma | ||
| system stand ready to assist the citizens of Texas at a moment's | ||
| notice; these dedicated men and women respond to emergency | ||
| situations from motor vehicle accidents to natural disasters to the | ||
| sudden onset of heart attacks and strokes with speed, compassion, | ||
| and professionalism, often putting their own lives at risk; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Texas trauma system has 287 designated trauma | ||
| facilities that are supported by 22 trauma service area regional | ||
| advisory councils; more than 62,000 emergency medical services | ||
| personnel, 40,000 nurses, and 2,000 trauma and emergency physicians | ||
| work in cooperation to provide lifesaving care and vital | ||
| rehabilitation services to this state's large and diverse | ||
| population; and | ||
| WHEREAS, When a catastrophic event occurs, Texans need to be | ||
| able to rely on an effective emergency medical system for aid, and it | ||
| is truly fitting that the men and women who provide that vital | ||
| assistance be commended for their outstanding contributions to | ||
| making the Lone Star State a safer and healthier place to live; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize February 17, 2015, as Texas Trauma | ||
| and Emergency Health Care Day at the State Capitol and extend to | ||
