Impact

The resolution serves to publicly commend the efforts of the healthcare staff at the DeWitt Hospital, shedding light on their dedication during challenging situations and the critical role they play in the state’s healthcare system. This recognition can bolster morale within the healthcare community and highlight the vital contributions of healthcare professionals, especially in rural areas where resources may be scarce. Additionally, such resolutions emphasize the importance of teamwork and communication within emergency response situations.

Summary

House Resolution 1028 is a resolution aimed at recognizing the contributions of the DeWitt Hospital staff to the state of Arkansas. The resolution highlights an incident that occurred on January 26, 2022, when the hospital faced a critical emergency involving three patients requiring ventilators at a time when resources were severely limited. The hospital staff demonstrated exceptional commitment and quick thinking in locating available resources and ensuring the patients received the necessary care, which ultimately saved lives.
