| to the Spanish missionaries, explorers, and physicians who came | ||
| to the region in the 17th century; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The first permanent organization of Texas | ||
| pharmacists, the Texas Pharmaceutical Association, was founded | ||
| in Dallas in 1879; its mission was to organize pharmacists on a | ||

| pharmacists' opinions are sought to help make decisions in every | ||
| aspect of medicine; pharmacists are truly deserving of special | ||
