WHEREAS, Olney Hamilton Hospital officially marked the
opening of the Olney Family Clinic and Rehab/Wellness Center on
January 26, 2013; and
WHEREAS, The hospital itself has a long and rich history in
the community; Dr. George B. Hamilton established the original
facility in a single-story building in 1908, and within six years he
had built a two-story structure on the town's main street; a brick
building took its place in 1927 on the current site, and at the time
it was built, it was regarded as one of the most modern and
best-equipped hospitals west of Fort Worth; and
WHEREAS, Today, Olney Hamilton Hospital serves as a critical
access provider for parts of three counties in North Central Texas;
over the years, it has grown to offer 25 beds with three resident
physicians and professional services in the areas of family
practice, obstetrics, general surgery, and emergency care; and
WHEREAS, With the addition of this notable new facility,
citizens of Olney will gain even greater access to top-notch health
care professionals and rehabilitation and wellness programs for
improved long-term health; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Olney Hamilton Hospital on the
opening of the Olney Family Clinic and Rehab/Wellness Center and
extend to all those associated with the institution sincere best
wishes for the future.
