|
||
WHEREAS, The Children's Hospital Association of Texas is | ||
celebrating Children's Hospital Day on January 25, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, Approximately one out of every ten children in the | ||
United States lives in Texas, and it is imperative that these | ||
children have access to the highest level of comprehensive | ||
pediatric care in the country; and | ||
WHEREAS, The State of Texas has recognized Children's Health, | ||
the Children's Hospital of San Antonio, Cook Children's Medical | ||
Center, Driscoll Children's Hospital, El Paso Children's Hospital, | ||
Healthbridge Children's Hospital, Covenant Children's Hospital, | ||
Dell Children's Medical Center at Ascension Seton, Shriners | ||
Children's Texas, Texas Children's Hospital, and Scottish Rite for | ||
Children as "children's hospitals" for the purposes of the state | ||
Medicaid program; and | ||
WHEREAS, These comprehensive hospitals provide lifesaving | ||
care to children across the state and serve as safety nets for their | ||
families; the hospitals fund pediatric specialists and | ||
subspecialists, and as a result, all children have access to the | ||
care they need, regardless of their family's ability to pay; and | ||
WHEREAS, By providing high-quality pediatric care, | ||
children's hospitals are helping to ensure the health and | ||
well-being of countless young Texans, and they are indeed deserving | ||
of recognition for the vital role they play in the future of the | ||
Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature | ||
hereby commemorate Children's Hospital Day on January 25, 2023, and | ||
commend the state's children's hospitals for their important work; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for these outstanding institutions and for the Children's | ||
Hospital Association of Texas as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas Senate. |
