| WHEREAS, Dale W. Wilson demonstrated remarkable skill and | ||
| dedication when he came to the aid of a man suffering from a heart | ||
| attack on April 17, 2023; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A registered nurse, Mr. Wilson was off duty and | ||
| driving on Interstate 35 when he saw a truck swerve and collide | ||
| with the concrete barrier along the freeway; he quickly pulled | ||
| over his own vehicle and rushed to the scene of the accident, | ||
| where he found the driver slumped over in his seat; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After freeing the driver from the truck, | ||
| Mr. Wilson began performing CPR as he waited for emergency | ||
| medical services to arrive; he later learned that his swift | ||
| action had saved the life of the motorist, who had experienced a | ||
| heart attack while driving; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Wilson is a mental health nurse and the | ||
| director of quality management at Austin State Hospital, where | ||
| he has been employed for more than 15 years; his exceptional | ||
| skills as a nurse have been instrumental in improving patient | ||
| outcomes and have earned him the respect and admiration of his | ||
| colleagues; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In saving the life of a fellow citizen, Dale | ||
| Wilson drew upon his experience in nursing and demonstrated the | ||
| compassion, proficiency, and commitment to the well-being of | ||
| others for which those in his profession are known, and it is | ||
| indeed fitting that he be honored for his selfless act of | ||
| heroism; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend Dale W. Wilson for his lifesaving | ||
| actions on April 17, 2023, and recognize him for his exemplary | ||
| contributions to health care in his community; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. Wilson as an expression of high regard from the | ||
| Texas Senate. | ||
