Impact

The adoption of SR17 signifies a positive acknowledgment by the Texas Senate of the significant role that Teleton USA can play in enhancing children’s healthcare in the state. One of the primary initiatives outlined is the establishment of Children's Rehabilitation Centers, with the first center planned for San Antonio. This facility is expected to accommodate up to 600 children, providing tailored treatment plans that involve the entire family. By building these centers, Teleton USA is poised to make a substantial impact on the quality of care available to children suffering from serious health conditions.

Senate Resolution No. 17 recognizes Teleton USA for its exemplary contributions in the field of children's healthcare. The resolution highlights Teleton USA as a nonprofit foundation dedicated to serving children with various health challenges including neuromusculoskeletal disabilities, cancer, and autism. The organization focuses on comprehensive rehabilitation and aims to promote the full development and societal inclusion of children. It emphasizes the importance of creating supportive environments for both the children and their families to thrive.
