H.R. No. 1817 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital in Houston, a vital | ||
component of the Harris Health System, is celebrating the 30th | ||
anniversary of its founding on June 2, 2019; and | ||
WHEREAS, LBJ Hospital opened its doors to the community on | ||
June 2, 1989, as the replacement for Harris Health's Jefferson | ||
Davis Hospital; during its first two days of operation, 200 | ||
patients were transferred to the newly opened facility, an | ||
undertaking that required months of planning; and | ||
WHEREAS, The first Level III Trauma Center designated in | ||
Texas, the hospital remains one of the busiest trauma centers in the | ||
state, with 86,000 emergency patient visits in 2018; one of the few | ||
full-service hospitals in the northeast area of the city, the | ||
facility provides an array of specialized medical and surgical | ||
services, and it has earned the distinction of being a regional | ||
center for neonatal intensive care for high-risk deliveries and | ||
very low birth weight infants; and | ||
WHEREAS, The hospital's dedicated administrators and staff | ||
continue to strengthen its collaborations with its world-renowned | ||
medical partners, the McGovern Medical School at The University of | ||
Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the UT MD Anderson Cancer | ||
Center; it is recognized as one of the best community-focused | ||
academic hospitals in the nation, and it has been further honored | ||
with designations as a Regional Center for Neonatal Intensive Care, | ||
a Texas 10 Step Facility, and a Baby-Friendly Facility, as well as a | ||
Pathway to Excellence Hospital; and | ||
WHEREAS, Staying true to the Harris Health System's mission | ||
to provide quality care to those most in need, LBJ Hospital has | ||
rendered exceptional service to the residents of Northeast Houston | ||
and Harris County, and it truly merits special recognition on the | ||
occasion of this milestone year; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 30th anniversary of Lyndon B. | ||
Johnson Hospital and extend to all those associated with the | ||
institution sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for LBJ Hospital as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
