H.C.R. No. 108 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Rosalind Redfern Grover has rendered invaluable | ||
service to Midland Memorial Hospital through her work as chair of | ||
the Midland Memorial Foundation Board of Governors; and | ||
WHEREAS, A Midland native, Roz Grover has enjoyed a | ||
successful career in the oil and gas business, which has included | ||
her service as president of Redfern Enterprises, Inc., and as chair | ||
of Flag-Redfern Oil Company; she has also furthered her reputation | ||
in the industry as the managing partner of several oil and gas | ||
partnerships, and she has held membership in organizations such as | ||
the Permian Basin Petroleum Association and the Texas Independent | ||
Producers and Royalty Owners Association; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the years, Mrs. Grover has given generous | ||
support to a variety of different institutions and causes in her | ||
community; as a member of the Midland Memorial Foundation Board of | ||
Governors, she was asked in 2007 to chair a capital campaign to help | ||
cover the cost of a new seven-story patient tower for Midland | ||
Memorial Hospital; under her leadership, the foundation was able to | ||
raise $67 million for this massive undertaking in 2008 and 2009, and | ||
she went on to play a vital role in the passage of a $115 million | ||
bond issue that was instrumental to the success of the Campaign for | ||
Tomorrow; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mrs. Grover was subsequently named chair of the | ||
board of governors, and among the many highlights of her tenure, she | ||
has overseen a substantial revision of the foundation's bylaws, and | ||
she helped initiate another campaign to fully fund Midland's first | ||
neonatal intensive care unit; in 2020, as the hospital faced | ||
challenges due to federal funding cuts and the COVID-19 pandemic, | ||
she co-led the Say Yes! To Healthcare campaign that resulted in the | ||
establishment of a quarter-cent sales tax to provide ongoing | ||
support for Midland health care services; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through her enterprising vision as head of the board | ||
of governors, Roz Grover has transformed Midland Memorial Hospital | ||
and greatly benefited the facility's patients, and in so doing, she | ||
has earned the lasting respect and gratitude of all who have had the | ||
pleasure of working alongside her; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
hereby commend Rosalind Redfern Grover for her service as chair of | ||
the Midland Memorial Foundation Board of Governors and extend to | ||
her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mrs. Grover as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
