H.R. No. 1052 R E S O L U T I O N WHEREAS, The observance of Texas Doctors' Day on March 30, 2017, provides a welcome opportunity to honor the physicians of the Lone Star State for their unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of the people of Texas; and WHEREAS, Conceived by Eudora Brown Almond, the wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond, the first Doctors' Day was held in Winder, Georgia, in 1933; the occasion received wider recognition with the passing decades, and in 1990, President George H. W. Bush signed legislation designating March 30 of each year as National Doctors' Day; this date was selected to commemorate the anniversary of the first use of general anesthesia in surgery by Dr. Crawford W. Long in 1842; and WHEREAS, Texas is home to more than 60,000 physicians, who not only provide for the care of others but also serve in many positions of leadership at all levels of society; the Texas Legislature has long benefited from the dedication of such individuals, including current state representatives Tom Oliverson, J. D. Sheffield, John Zerwas, and Greg Bonnen and state senators Dawn Buckingham, Charles Schwertner, and Donna Campbell; and WHEREAS, Doctors play an essential role in the health care of countless Texans, and their contributions to the welfare and prosperity of the state have earned them the respect, admiration, and appreciation of their fellow citizens; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas Legislature hereby recognize March 30, 2017, as Texas Doctors' Day and pay special tribute to the physicians currently serving in the Texas Legislature.
