WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
join the Texas Academy of Physician Assistants and Texans across | ||
the state in celebrating March 18, 2019, as Physician Assistant | ||
Day at the Texas Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Physician assistants are academically and | ||
clinically prepared medical professionals who diagnose illness, | ||
develop and manage treatment plans, and frequently serve as the | ||
principal health care provider; often patients' first point of | ||
contact, physician assistants are instrumental in providing | ||
quality, cost-effective, and accessible patient-centered health | ||
care; and | ||
WHEREAS, Vital members of the staff at hospitals and | ||
clinics, physician assistants play a vital role in helping | ||
patients understand their medical needs and in empowering them to | ||
become effective advocates for their own health; they are | ||
especially valuable contributors to quality health care outcomes | ||
in medically underserved and rural areas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Physician assistants have earned the public's | ||
respect for their dedication to the well-being and quality of | ||
life of their patients; it is truly fitting that a day be set | ||
aside to celebrate their countless contributions to the health | ||
and vitality of our state; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the state's physician assistants on | ||
their commitment to excellence in health care and extend to them | ||
best wishes for a productive and memorable Physician Assistant | ||
Day at the Texas Capitol; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of this special occasion. | ||
Watson | ||
