WHEREAS, Members of the health care community are gathering | ||
in Austin on February 17, 2015, to observe Texas Trauma and | ||
Emergency Health Care Day; and | ||
WHEREAS, The health care professionals of the Texas trauma | ||
system stand ready to assist the citizens of Texas at a moment's | ||
notice; these dedicated men and women respond to emergency | ||
situations from motor vehicle accidents to natural disasters to the | ||
sudden onset of heart attacks and strokes with speed, compassion, | ||
and professionalism, often putting their own lives at risk; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Texas trauma system has 287 designated trauma | ||
facilities that are supported by 22 trauma service area regional | ||
advisory councils; more than 62,000 emergency medical services | ||
personnel, 40,000 nurses, and 2,000 trauma and emergency physicians | ||
work in cooperation to provide lifesaving care and vital | ||
rehabilitation services to this state's large and diverse | ||
population; and | ||
WHEREAS, When a catastrophic event occurs, Texans need to be | ||
able to rely on an effective emergency medical system for aid, and it | ||
is truly fitting that the men and women who provide that vital | ||
assistance be commended for their outstanding contributions to | ||
making the Lone Star State a safer and healthier place to live; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize February 17, 2015, as Texas Trauma | ||
and Emergency Health Care Day at the State Capitol and extend to | ||
all those in attendance sincere best wishes for a meaningful and | ||
memorable visit. | ||
