| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||

| celebrate Doctors of Osteopathic Medical Excellence Day, known | ||
| as D.O.M.E. Day, which takes place during National Osteopathic | ||

| 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 | ||

| 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. | ||
