SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1046
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Migrant Clinicians Network on the auspicious
occasion of its 25th anniversary; and
WHEREAS, The Migrant Clinicians Network is a national,
nonprofit organization devoted to helping health care providers
and communities strengthen and improve medical services and
infrastructure for migrants and other mobile poor populations;
it traces its roots to a 1984 meeting of clinicians concerned
about the lack of migrant-specific resources available to
medical professionals; and

Migrant Clinicians Network provides many of the elements needed
to improve care and to increase knowledge about and foster
creative solutions to the problems facing this underserved
population; and
WHEREAS, This dedicated organization offers many resources
to professionals, including clinical courses providing
continuing education hours, in-depth consultations, and an
award-winning website that has provided webcasts and other
clinical program resources; and
WHEREAS, The Migrant Clinicians Network relies on an array
of collaborative relationships to provide the highest quality
services; it is truly deserving of recognition for its commitment
to advancing better health care for vulnerable populations; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st
Legislature, hereby commend the Migrant Clinicians Network on
its exceptional work in helping migrants and the mobile poor
receive quality health care and extend to its members best wishes
for a memorable and rewarding 25th anniversary; and, be it
further
