WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Barbara Adamson for her exceptional efforts through | ||
the Care Van Program to help the children of Texas lead healthier | ||
lives; and | ||
WHEREAS, Barbara Adamson developed the Care Van Program in | ||
1997; one of the most comprehensive and innovative immunization | ||
outreach programs in the state, it has provided more than 858,000 | ||
immunizations to 515,000 children since its inception; the | ||
program is supported by the Caring For Children Foundation of | ||
Texas and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Immunizing children is one of the most direct, | ||
simple, and inexpensive ways to build healthier futures for | ||
medically underserved families in Texas, yet one in four children | ||
in the state go without the immunizations needed to lead a | ||
healthy, happy life due to financial or logistical constraints; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The Care Van Program, which uses a fleet of 10 | ||
specialized vans, has served children in Austin, Houston, San | ||
Antonio, El Paso, Abilene, San Angelo, Amarillo, Wichita Falls, | ||
and the Dallas and Fort Worth area; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Care Van Program is more than a job for its | ||
founder and manager; for Barbara Adamson, it is a labor of love; a | ||
compassionate and caring individual, she is a cancer survivor, a | ||
community volunteer, and an exemplary role model; her dedication | ||
and leadership have made a real difference in the lives and | ||
futures of thousands of her fellow citizens, and she is most | ||
deserving of legislative recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Barbara Adamson | ||
for her commitment to protecting the health of children and her | ||
success with the Care Van Program and extend to her best wishes | ||
for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
Carona | ||
