H.R. No. 994 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Midland Health is celebrating National Nurses Week | ||
on May 6-12, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, More than 600 nurses are employed at Midland | ||
Memorial Hospital and other facilities comprising the Midland | ||
Health system; they play an indispensable role in the delivery of | ||
health care in the community, and the depth and breadth of their | ||
expertise ensures that they are able to meet the wide-ranging needs | ||
of their patients; and | ||
WHEREAS, Nurses are caregivers, healers, and patient | ||
advocates who are committed to providing quality care to patients, | ||
including vulnerable members of society; the demand for nursing | ||
services is expected to increase due to the aging of the U.S. | ||
population, the expansion of life-sustaining technologies, and the | ||
explosive growth of home health care services, and more qualified | ||
nurses will be needed to keep pace with this demand in the future; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Through the challenging yet rewarding work they | ||
perform, nurses have played an essential role in ensuring that | ||
patients at Midland Health are treated to the highest standards of | ||
care, and National Nurses Week provides a welcome opportunity to | ||
honor these outstanding professionals; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize May 6-12, 2023, as Midland Health | ||
Nurses Week and extend to the nurses of Midland Health sincere | ||
appreciation for their exceptional service to their community. | ||
