| Center, providing services to individuals with mental illness or | ||
| intellectual or developmental disabilities on an outpatient or | ||
| at-home basis; the center was renamed the Permian Basin Community | ||

| expand to encompass Pecos, Brewster, Culberson, Hudspeth, Jeff | ||
| Davis, and Presidio Counties; and | ||

| PermiaCare today offers a wide variety of programs, including those | ||

| to PermiaCare in 2018; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For half a century, PermiaCare has distinguished | ||
| itself as a resource of inestimable value to the region, and the | ||
| members of its skilled and dedicated staff are to be commended for | ||

| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of PermiaCare and extend to | ||
| all those associated with the organization sincere best wishes for | ||
| the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
