| WHEREAS, Members of the health care community are gathering | ||
| in Austin on February 21, 2017, in observance of Texas Trauma and | ||
| Emergency Health Care Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Dedicated to the well-being of their fellow | ||
| citizens, the health care professionals of the Texas trauma system | ||
| respond at a moment's notice to emergency situations, which can | ||
| range from motor vehicle accidents and natural disasters to heart | ||
| attacks, strokes, and other medical crises; they often put their | ||
| own lives at risk as they react with speed, compassion, and | ||
| professionalism; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Texas trauma system has 288 designated trauma | ||
| facilities, which are supported by 22 trauma service area regional | ||
| advisory councils; more than 64,000 EMS personnel, 42,000 nurses, | ||
| and 2,000 trauma and emergency physicians work with their | ||
| colleagues to provide lifesaving care and vital rehabilitation | ||
| services to the state's large and diverse population; and | ||
| WHEREAS, When urgent medical needs arise, Texans rely | ||
| completely on the availability of swift assistance, and it is | ||
| indeed appropriate to recognize the vital role played in our | ||
| society by emergency medical personnel; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby recognize February 21, 2017, as Texas Trauma and | ||
| Emergency Health Care Day at the State Capitol and extend to all | ||
| those participating in this observance sincere best wishes for a | ||
| meaningful and memorable visit. | ||
