2	2	WHEREAS, Laurie Brubaker, former CEO of Aetna Medicaid,
3	3	has inspired her loved ones, friends, and colleagues throughout
4	4	her courageous battle with cancer, and her desire to positively
5	5	impact the lives of other cancer patients has led her to help
6	6	raise more than $22,000 for the charity Texas 4000; and
7	7	WHEREAS, With a career spanning over three decades,
8	8	Ms. Brubaker has been a recognized leader at Aetna and in the
9	9	wider insurance industry; she has played an instrumental role in
10	10	developing Aetna's corporate culture throughout her tenure as
11	11	chief culture officer and in other positions of responsibility,
12	12	which have included serving as senior vice president of Medicaid,
13	13	president of Aetna's Mid-Atlantic region, and executive advisor
14	14	to the Office of the President; she has also been tasked with
15	15	overseeing Aetna's pharmacy division, disability and behavioral
16	16	health team, and individual and consumer organization; along the
17	17	way, she has served on the boards of such organizations as the
18	18	Aetna Foundation and Saving Promise, a nonprofit with a mission
19	19	to end domestic violence; and
20	20	WHEREAS, Ms. Brubaker and her family received devastating
21	21	news when she was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer
22	22	within the last year, but after waging a fierce fight and
23	23	undergoing treatment for the disease in recent months, she is
24	24	currently in remission; during her journey, she has been blessed
25	25	with the support of a devoted network of friends and family; she
26	26	and her husband recently moved to Austin to be closer to their
27	27	children, and her retirement from the Aetna business unit on May
28	28	7, 2019, though a great loss to the company, will no doubt allow
29	29	her to spend even more precious time with her loved ones; and
30	30	WHEREAS, In honor of Ms. Brubaker and her extraordinary
31	31	strength of spirit, "Team Laurie" managed to collect over $22,000
32	32	for Texas 4000, a nonprofit organization that raises money for
33	33	cancer research by hosting one of the longest charity bicycle
34	34	rides in the world; she chose to contribute to Texas 4000 in part
35	35	because of its importance to her son, Chris, who is a University
36	36	of Texas alumnus, a former rider, and a current board member of
37	37	the charity; and
38	38	WHEREAS, By benefiting Texas 4000, Laurie Brubaker and her
39	39	supporters are helping to ensure that more Texas patients are
40	40	able to triumph over cancer, and it is a privilege to join in
41	41	recognizing this remarkable woman for the grace, fortitude, and
42	42	passion with which she has carried out this goal; now, therefore,
43	43	be it
44	44	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
45	45	Legislature, hereby commend Laurie Brubaker for her contribution
46	46	to Texas 4000 and honor all those involved with Texas 4000 for the
47	47	difference they have made in the lives of Texans with cancer;
48	48	and, be it further
49	49	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
50	50	prepared for Ms. Brubaker as an expression of high regard by the
51	51	Texas Senate.
