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. | ||
