| WHEREAS, CentroMed, a nonprofit community health center in | ||
| San Antonio, is celebrating 50 years of service to the community | ||
| on November 10, 2023; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Incorporated as El Centro del Barrio in November | ||
| 1973, CentroMed provides medical, dental, and behavioral health | ||
| services to families residing in San Antonio, New Braunfels, | ||
| Schertz, Cibolo, Somerset, Windcrest, and Converse; its flagship | ||
| clinic, the South Park Medical Care Clinic, opened in 1981, and | ||
| its locations have since grown to include clinics throughout the | ||
| San Antonio area that specialize in family medicine, pediatrics, | ||
| and dental care; CentroMed is known for providing quality, | ||
| affordable health care to low-income individuals and families, | ||
| 92 percent of whom earn less than 150 percent of the U.S. federal | ||
| poverty level; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, CentroMed operates under the leadership of | ||
| its president and chief executive officer, Dr. Ernesto Gomez, | ||
| who is recognized for his vision and commitment to improving the | ||
| health and well-being of the community; during the 2022 fiscal | ||
| year, CentroMed served more than 120,000 patients and received | ||
| nearly 400,000 office visits; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the past five decades, CentroMed has | ||
| contributed immeasurably to the health and quality of life of | ||
| countless San Antonio area residents, and it is a pleasure to | ||
| join in commemorating this significant milestone and in | ||
| recognizing all those who have supported CentroMed throughout | ||
| its existence; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby honor CentroMed on the | ||
| occasion of its 50th anniversary and extend to its board members, | ||
| physicians, clinicians, dentists, counselors, leadership, and | ||
| support staff sincere best wishes for continued success with | ||
| their important work; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for CentroMed as an expression of high regard from the | ||
| Texas Senate. | ||
