	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 211
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas on the occasion of
	its 125th anniversary; and
	WHEREAS, Parkland Hospital opened its doors on May 19,
	1894, as a small treatment center for the poor, and over the years
	it has grown to become a world-class medical institution; and
	WHEREAS, Parkland Memorial Hospital was imprinted on the
	nation's memory on November 22, 1963, with the tragic death of
	President John F. Kennedy; in the ensuing years, the hospital has
	earned widespread recognition for its cutting-edge trauma and
	burn centers, its renowned labor and delivery departments, and
	its innovative and fiscally sound approach to comprehensive
	community health care; and
	WHEREAS, For well over a century, Parkland has continued in
	its mission of providing quality treatment for all, regardless of
	financial status; it has expanded services to include a variety
	of specialty and community clinics, and the hospital serves as
	home to both the Injury Prevention Center of Greater Dallas and
	the North Texas Poison Center; and
	WHEREAS, As America faces the challenges of the 21st
	century, Parkland Health and Hospital System remains committed
	to excellence and will continue to honor its founding principles
	of "care, compassion, and community"; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
	Legislature, hereby commend all associated with Parkland
	Memorial Hospital and Parkland Health and Hospital System for
	carrying on a proud tradition of care in the Dallas County
	community and congratulate them as they celebrate 125 years of
	exceptional service; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	the hospital as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
