By: Menéndez | S.R. No. 83 |
|
||
WHEREAS, CentroMed, a nonprofit community health center in | ||
San Antonio, is celebrating 50 years of service to the community on | ||
November 10, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, Incorporated as El Centro del Barrio in November | ||
1973, CentroMed provides medical, dental, and behavioral health | ||
services to families residing in San Antonio, New Braunfels, | ||
Schertz, Cibolo, Somerset, Windcrest, and Converse; its flagship | ||
clinic, the South Park Medical Care Clinic, opened in 1981, and its | ||
locations have since grown to include clinics throughout the San | ||
Antonio area that specialize in family medicine, pediatrics, and | ||
dental care; CentroMed is known for providing quality, affordable | ||
health care to low-income individuals and families, 92 percent of | ||
whom earn less than 150 percent of the U.S. federal poverty level; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, CentroMed operates under the leadership of | ||
its president and chief executive officer, Dr. Ernesto Gomez, who | ||
is recognized for his vision and commitment to improving the health | ||
and well-being of the community; during the 2022 fiscal year, | ||
CentroMed served more than 120,000 patients and received nearly | ||
400,000 office visits; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the past five decades, CentroMed has | ||
contributed immeasurably to the health and quality of life of | ||
countless San Antonio area residents, and it is a pleasure to join | ||
in commemorating this significant milestone and in recognizing all | ||
those who have supported CentroMed throughout its existence; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature, 3rd | ||
Called Session, hereby honor CentroMed on the occasion of its 50th | ||
anniversary and extend to its board members, physicians, | ||
clinicians, dentists, counselors, leadership, and support staff | ||
sincere best wishes for continued success with their important | ||
work; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for CentroMed as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
Senate. |
