5	5	WHEREAS, Angleton Danbury Medical Center is celebrating 40
6	6	years of service to the citizens of Brazoria County in 2009; and
7	7	WHEREAS, Established by the legislature in 1967, Angleton
8	8	Danbury General Hospital opened in November 1969 with the purpose
9	9	of providing medical care to the residents of the Angleton and
10	10	Danbury area; the facility initially housed 34 licensed beds, but
11	11	five years later that number had increased to 54, after funds raised
12	12	by the community and matched by M. D. Anderson were used to complete
13	13	the hospital's east wing; and
14	14	WHEREAS, The demand for outpatient services increased
15	15	through the years, and $9 million in bonds contributed to a
16	16	substantial expansion and renovation of the facility in 1989; a
17	17	decade later, construction of the $7 million Surgical and Cardiac
18	18	Care Center was completed and the hospital became the Angleton
19	19	Danbury Medical Center; in 2002, the Frank W. Stevens Health and
20	20	Wellness Center was established, taking its name from a founding
21	21	board member who was a strong advocate of wellness programs long
22	22	before they were adopted by mainstream health care; and
23	23	WHEREAS, Striving to accommodate a growing population, the
24	24	medical center completed a $22 million project in June 2006 that
25	25	impacted every patient care and service area on the campus; the
26	26	majority of the funding consisted of a $20.3 million bond package, a
27	27	$400,000 donation from the Peklo family, and a $97,000 gift from the
28	28	medical center's auxiliary; and
29	29	WHEREAS, Today, ADMC offers innovative patient care with
30	30	state-of-the-art technology; the center includes a comprehensive
31	31	intensive care unit, a modern obstetrical and women's health care
32	32	division known as the Peklo Women's Pavilion, and a full emergency
33	33	department that treats more than 16,000 people annually; and
34	34	WHEREAS, Embracing its mission to improve the health of area
35	35	Texans, Angleton Danbury Medical Center has distinguished itself as
36	36	a vital and valued asset to Brazoria County and the Lone Star State,
37	37	and it truly merits special recognition on the occasion of this
38	38	milestone year; now, therefore, be it
39	39	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
40	40	Legislature hereby honor Angleton Danbury Medical Center on its
41	41	40th anniversary and extend to all those associated with the
42	42	facility sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
43	43	further
44	44	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
45	45	prepared for the center as an expression of high regard by the Texas
46	46	House of Representatives.
