|
celebrate the organization's 10th anniversary at its annual state |

|
|
event; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since its founding in 2005, the association has been |

|
dedicated to increasing access to quality health care for the |

|
|
educational opportunities, collects and disseminates information |

|
|
products through corporate and national partnerships; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This worthwhile organization assists over 70 |
|
|
charitable Texas clinics, which together have almost 400,000 |
|
|
patient visits each year; chiefly staffed by a large volunteer base |
|
|
of physicians, nurses, dentists, and other medical professionals, |
|
|
these vital centers provide a practical alternative to costly |
|
|
hospital and emergency room care; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For 10 years, the Lone Star Association of |
|
|
Charitable Clinics has worked to make efficient and effective |
|
|
medical treatment available to those who may otherwise go without, |
|
|
and its efforts have had a profound and positive influence on the |
|
|
citizens of Texas; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize April 23, 2015, as Texas Charitable |
|
|
Clinic Day at the State Capitol and extend to all involved with the |
|
|
clinics 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 the Lone Star Association of Charitable Clinics as an |
|
|
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
