| WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical | ||
| Association are visiting the State Capitol on April 17, 2019, for | ||
| Doctors of Osteopathic Medical Excellence (DOME) Day, and this | ||
| occasion offers a welcome opportunity to recognize the important | ||
| contributions that osteopathic physicians make to the health | ||
| care system in the Lone Star State; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Trained to consider the health of the whole | ||
| person, DOs are fully licensed to prescribe medicine and to | ||
| practice in all medical specialties, including surgery; they pay | ||
| particular attention to how nerves, muscles, bones, and organs | ||
| work together to influence health, and through osteopathic | ||
| manipulative treatment, DOs use their hands to diagnose injury | ||
| and illness and stimulate the body's natural ability to heal | ||
| itself; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Representing osteopathic physicians across the | ||
| state, the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association was founded in | ||
| 1900 by a group of five physicians; the organization is dedicated | ||
| to advancing the philosophy and principles of osteopathic | ||
| medicine and serving the needs of doctors within the field; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Practitioners of osteopathic medicine play an | ||
| essential role in maintaining the health and well-being of | ||
| countless Texans, and these skilled professionals may indeed | ||
| reflect with pride on the exceptional care they provide to their | ||
| patients; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize April 17, 2019, as Doctors of | ||
| Osteopathic Medical Excellence Day at the State Capitol; and, be | ||
| it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That April 14-20, 2019, be recognized as Texas | ||
| Osteopathic Medicine Week. | ||
