SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 389
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join the Texas Academy of Physician Assistants and Texans across
the state in celebrating March 18, 2019, as Physician Assistant
Day at the Texas Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Physician assistants are academically and
clinically prepared medical professionals who diagnose illness,
develop and manage treatment plans, and frequently serve as the
principal health care provider; often patients' first point of
contact, physician assistants are instrumental in providing
quality, cost-effective, and accessible patient-centered health
care; and
WHEREAS, Vital members of the staff at hospitals and
clinics, physician assistants play a vital role in helping
patients understand their medical needs and in empowering them to
become effective advocates for their own health; they are
especially valuable contributors to quality health care outcomes
in medically underserved and rural areas; and
WHEREAS, Physician assistants have earned the public's
respect for their dedication to the well-being and quality of
life of their patients; it is truly fitting that a day be set
aside to celebrate their countless contributions to the health
and vitality of our state; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby commend the state's physician assistants on
their commitment to excellence in health care and extend to them
best wishes for a productive and memorable Physician Assistant
Day at the Texas Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this special occasion.
Watson
