WHEREAS, CHI St. Luke's Health-Memorial Livingston has been
awarded the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval for Hospital
Accreditation; and
WHEREAS, Since 1951, the Joint Commission has sought to
improve public health care by evaluating a wide variety of medical
institutions and inspiring them to provide safe and effective care
of the highest quality and value; to earn the Gold Seal of Approval,
an organization must undergo a rigorous onsite survey every three
years and demonstrate continuous compliance with industry
standards; and
WHEREAS, Livingston's modern hospital began as a modest
county-owned facility in 1950, and after CHI St. Luke's Health
Memorial assumed ownership in 1994, the hospital transformed into
the state-of-the-art facility it is today, with 66 beds, nearly 60
highly dedicated physicians on staff, and more than 60,000 patient
services provided annually; accredited since 2010, CHI St. Luke's
has distinguished itself in such areas as emergency management,
environment of care, infection prevention and control, leadership,
and medication management; and
WHEREAS, CHI St. Luke's Health-Memorial Livingston has
worked tirelessly to provide skilled, compassionate, and
affordable care to area Texans, and its recent accreditation is a
testament to the hospital's ongoing commitment to excellence; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate CHI St. Luke's Health-Memorial
Livingston on its receipt of the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of
Approval for Hospital Accreditation and extend to its physicians,
nurses, administrators, and other staff sincere best wishes for
continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the hospital as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
