SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 266
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to join
citizens from around the state in celebrating February 28, 2017,
as Texas Pharmacy Day at the Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Pharmacists are true champions of health care,
and they are committed to the health and well-being of their
patients; in addition to ensuring that customers are properly
advised on their medications, they serve as a primary point of
contact between health care systems and more than 62 million
Americans; and
WHEREAS, Local pharmacists ensure that patients have
access to affordable, life-saving medications in rural areas
across Texas and the nation; often, pharmacists serve as leaders
in their communities, and they build lasting relationships with
customers through shared experiences at church, school, and
community functions; and
WHEREAS, On February 28, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians,
and pharmacy students from across the state are visiting Austin
and the State Capitol; it is an excellent opportunity to recognize
the pharmacy profession and to thank Texas pharmacists for their
valued contributions to quality health care in our state; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend pharmacists throughout the state for
their dedication to the patients they serve and extend to the
visiting delegation best wishes for a memorable Texas Pharmacy
Day at the Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as a
memento of this special day.
