SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 180
	WHEREAS, Members of the health care community are gathering
	in Austin on February 17, 2015, to observe Texas Trauma and
	Emergency Health Care Day; and
	WHEREAS, The health care professionals of the Texas trauma
	system stand ready to assist the citizens of Texas at a moment's
	notice; these dedicated men and women respond to emergency
	situations from motor vehicle accidents to natural disasters to the
	sudden onset of heart attacks and strokes with speed, compassion,
	and professionalism, often putting their own lives at risk; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas trauma system has 287 designated trauma
	facilities that are supported by 22 trauma service area regional
	advisory councils; more than 62,000 emergency medical services
	personnel, 40,000 nurses, and 2,000 trauma and emergency physicians
	work in cooperation to provide lifesaving care and vital
	rehabilitation services to this state's large and diverse
	population; and
	WHEREAS, When a catastrophic event occurs, Texans need to be
	able to rely on an effective emergency medical system for aid, and it
	is truly fitting that the men and women who provide that vital
	assistance be commended for their outstanding contributions to
	making the Lone Star State a safer and healthier place to live; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
	Legislature, hereby recognize February 17, 2015, as Texas Trauma
	and Emergency Health Care Day at the State Capitol and extend to
	all those in attendance sincere best wishes for a meaningful and
	memorable visit.
	Campbell
