WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Teleton USA for its exemplary work in the field of | ||
children's health care; and | ||
WHEREAS, Teleton USA is a nonprofit foundation dedicated | ||
to serving children with neuromusculoskeletal disabilities, | ||
cancer, and autism through comprehensive rehabilitation; it | ||
promotes the children's full development and inclusion in | ||
society and works to effect change in their lives and in the lives | ||
of the people around them; and | ||
WHEREAS, To further its goals, the organization will build | ||
and operate Children's Rehabilitation Centers across the | ||
country; these facilities will resemble the more than 20 centers | ||
operated by Teleton Mexico, which has given its full support to | ||
the United States efforts; and | ||
WHEREAS, The initial American center will be built in San | ||
Antonio and will accommodate up to 600 children, with fees based | ||
upon the family's ability to pay; a team of doctors, therapists, | ||
and counselors will develop a treatment plan for each child that | ||
relies upon the involvement of the child's entire family; and | ||
WHEREAS, Teleton USA can make a profound difference in the | ||
lives of children and it is truly deserving of recognition as it | ||
begins its work in the United States; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commend Teleton USA on | ||
its outstanding work on behalf of children and extend best wishes | ||
for success in all its endeavors; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the organization as an expression of esteem from the Texas | ||
Senate. | ||
