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. | ||
