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 T
he Joint Commission's Gold Seal of
Approval for Hospital Accreditation and extend to its physicians,
