R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Memorial Hermann Foundation is hosting its 2013
Circle of Life Gala on May 11, 2013; and
WHEREAS, A component of the Memorial Hermann Healthcare
System, the foundation is honoring civic leaders and
philanthropists Elizabeth and Gary Petersen at the gala; proceeds
of the event will benefit the Revolutionizing Neuroscience
initiative, a $100 million fund-raising campaign undertaken by
Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center and The University of Texas
Health Science Center at Houston; and
WHEREAS, Memorial Hermann and UTHealth have partnered for
more than four decades to provide comprehensive medical care, and
together, they have launched Revolutionizing Neuroscience to
advance the field of neuroscience research and clinical care and to
make the institutions national and international leaders in the
field; and
WHEREAS, Today, Memorial Hermann and UTHealth form one of the
few hospital-medical school collaborations in the United States
that fully integrate pediatric and adult neurology, neurosurgery,
and neurorehabilitation; to attain the best patient outcomes, they
provide a full continuum of state-of-the-art neuroscience research
and care beginning when a patient arrives in the trauma center and
continuing through treatment in the acute care facility and
rehabilitation; and
WHEREAS, Through its support for this ambitious fund-raising
drive, the Memorial Hermann Foundation is making a significant
contribution to the advancement of neuroscience research and
patient care, and it is a privilege to commend all those associated
with this event and the cause that it benefits; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate both the Memorial Hermann
Foundation 2013 Circle of Life Gala and the Revolutionizing
Neuroscience initiative and honor Elizabeth and Gary Petersen for
their efforts in behalf of that worthy cause; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
for Mr. and Mrs. Petersen and for the foundation as an expression of
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
