SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 588
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the physicians, residents, medical students, and
advocate members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association,
who are visiting the State Capitol on April 22, 2015; and
WHEREAS, The Texas Osteopathic Medical Association was
founded by a group of five physicians in 1900; the ongoing mission
of the association is to promote health care excellence for the
people of Texas, to advance the distinct philosophy and principles
of osteopathic medicine, and to loyally embrace the family of the
osteopathic profession and serve their unique needs; and
WHEREAS, As primary care doctors or specialists, physician
members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical Association encourage
their patients to develop attitudes and lifestyles that help
prevent and fight illness; they give special attention to how the
body's nerves, muscles, bones, and organs work together to
influence health; through osteopathic manipulative treatment,
they can use their hands to diagnose injury and illness and
encourage the body's natural ability to heal itself; and
WHEREAS, The members of the Texas Osteopathic Medical
Association play an essential role in the health care of
countless Texans, and their contribution to the welfare and
prosperity of the state is truly deserving of special
recognition; association members are visiting the State Capitol
during National Osteopathic Medicine Week to celebrate Doctors
of Osteopathic Medical Excellence Day, or D.O.M.E. Day; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby recognize and welcome the members of the
Texas Osteopathic Medical Association as they visit the Texas
Capitol on D.O.M.E. Day and proclaim April 19 through 25, 2015,
as Texas Osteopathic Medicine Week; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of D.O.M.E. Day and Texas Osteopathic Medicine Week.
