WHEREAS, Staff members of Radiology Associates have been
honored by the American Cancer Society for their exemplary
participation in the Corpus Christi Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer walk; and
WHEREAS, Each year, the American Cancer Society holds walks
in nearly 300 communities across the nation; these events honor
breast cancer survivors and raise awareness of how to reduce one's
risk of developing the disease; the money collected enables the
society to fund groundbreaking research and to provide 24-hour
information and support, as well as a range of services for breast
cancer patients; and
WHEREAS, In 2014, a Radiology Associates team participated in
the Corpus Christi Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk,
raising more than $66,000 for the cause and earning distinction as a
Pacesetter Team; Radiology Associates stands out not only as the
sole group in Corpus Christi to meet the $25,000 threshold for
achieving Pacesetter honors, but also as one of the top 20
Pacesetter Teams in the nation, ranking 14th on a list that includes
teams from a number of larger corporations; and
WHEREAS, A group of board-certified radiologists and some 200
employees, Radiology Associates offers a full range of outpatient
imaging services and has been designated as a Breast Imaging Center
of Excellence by the American College of Radiology; and
WHEREAS, By raising money as well as public awareness, the
members of the Radiology Associates team have made a notable
contribution in the fight against cancer, and they are indeed
deserving of recognition for their outstanding efforts; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Radiology Associates for its commitment
to combatting breast cancer and congratulate the organization on
its stellar achievement in the 2014 Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer walk; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Radiology Associates as an expression of high regard
by the Texas House of Representatives.
