WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the physicians, residents, medical students, and | ||
advocate members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association | ||
who are visiting the State Capitol on April 20, 2017, to | ||
celebrate Doctors of Osteopathic Medical Excellence Day, known | ||
as D.O.M.E. Day, which takes place during National Osteopathic | ||
Medicine Week; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Texas Osteopathic Medical Association was | ||
founded in 1900 by a group of five physicians with a mission to | ||
promote health care excellence for the people of Texas, advance | ||
the distinct philosophy and principles of osteopathic medicine, | ||
and embrace the family of the osteopathic profession and serve | ||
their unique needs; and | ||
WHEREAS, As primary care doctors or specialists, physician | ||
members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association help their | ||
patients to develop attitudes and lifestyles that both fight | ||
illness and prevent it; they give special attention to how the | ||
body's nerves, muscles, bones, and organs work together to | ||
influence health, and through osteopathic manipulative treatment, | ||
they can use their hands to diagnose injury and illness and | ||
encourage the body's natural ability to heal itself; and | ||
WHEREAS, All members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical | ||
Association play an essential role in the health care of countless | ||
Texans, and their contributions to the welfare and prosperity of | ||
the state are truly deserving of special recognition; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Texas Osteopathic | ||
Medical Association for their outstanding work on behalf of the | ||
people of Texas and recognize April 20 as D.O.M.E. Day and April | ||
16 through 22, 2017, as Texas Osteopathic Medicine Week; and, be | ||
it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association. | ||
