SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 877
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Laredo Specialty Hospital on the occasion of its fifth
anniversary; and
WHEREAS, Laredo Specialty Hospital opened in May of 2006;
the 60-bed, long-term acute care hospital is owned and operated
by Ernest Health, Incorporated; it includes a six-bed intensive
care unit, a therapy gym, day rooms, and state-of-the-art
equipment; and
WHEREAS, It provides specialized medical, nursing, and
rehabilitative services for patients who need more intensive
medical care for their recovery but no longer require the
services provided in a traditional acute care hospital; and
WHEREAS, The hospital's highly trained caregivers know
that recovery from a serious illness or injury requires not only
physical care but also emotional support and understanding for
both the patient and the patient's family; and
WHEREAS, Laredo Specialty Hospital has cared for 2,076
patients over the last five years, and it has maintained a high
level of patient satisfaction; it has also become a community
leader for health care education and has hosted numerous
continuing education programs for health care workers; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
Legislature, hereby commend the administrators and staff members
of Laredo Specialty Hospital for their commitment to the delivery
of high-quality acute health care services in Laredo and extend
to all best wishes for a wonderful fifth anniversary celebration;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
Laredo Specialty Hospital as an expression of esteem from the
Texas Senate.
