WHEREAS, Ms. Hurt-Deitch, who is currently the chief nursing | ||
officer and vice president of patient care services for Tenet | ||
Healthcare, was appointed to lead the Texas Hospital Association, | ||
an organization with a nearly 90-year history of advocating for | ||
state hospitals and health systems; based in Austin, the Texas | ||

Master of Health Administration degree from Trinity University; she | ||
began her career in nursing at Sun Towers Hospital in El Paso, and | ||
at age 23, she was asked to become the successor of the hospital's | ||
retiring director; this experience sparked her interest in hospital | ||
leadership, and she went on to distinguish herself in numerous | ||
other roles, among them CEO of Hospitals of Providence campuses in | ||
El Paso and the region that includes the Valley Baptist Health | ||
System hospitals in the Rio Grande Valley; and | ||
WHEREAS, In every position she has held, Ms. Hurt-Deitch has | ||
gained a reputation for her commitment to maintaining the highest | ||
quality of patient care, while also treating colleagues and staff | ||
with fairness and respect; she has also earned the esteem of her | ||
peers through her service on a host of professional boards and | ||
committees, including as president of the National Association of | ||
Latino Healthcare Executives and as a member of the American | ||
Hospital Association Regional Policy Board; and | ||
WHEREAS, With her exceptional record of service in her field, | ||
Sally Hurt-Deitch has proven herself deserving of this prestigious | ||
appointment, and the Texas Hospital Association's members are | ||
indeed fortunate to have her at the organization's helm; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Sally Hurt-Deitch on her selection | ||
as chair of the Texas Hospital Association and extend to her sincere | ||
best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
