H.R. No. 1948
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The COVID-19 global pandemic has required health
care professionals to confront extraordinary, evolving, and
historic challenges, and the physicians, nurses, allied health care
staff, support staff, and the administration of Golden Plains
Community Hospital have, together as a professional health care
team, heroically stood on the front lines in the war against this
contagious and deadly virus, and they have resolutely persevered in
the face of tremendous adversity wrought by the unseen enemy; and
WHEREAS, At the outset of the pandemic, hospitals throughout
Texas, including Golden Plains Community Hospital, intently
focused on many matters, including preparedness measures,
infection control protocols and screenings, personal protective
equipment, and the coordination of response efforts with nearby
hospitals; and
WHEREAS, The unwavering collective resolve and fortitude
demonstrated by the staff of Golden Plains Community Hospital is
the latest chapter in the district's history of caring for its
patients and the community; from its beginnings as a hospital in
Borger, Texas, in the mid-1920s, Golden Plains Community Hospital
has since grown into a thriving health care organization; and
WHEREAS, Although COVID-19 put a tremendous strain on
hospitals across the country, the professional team of the Golden
Plains Community Hospital worked together to provide medical care
to patients and to the community at large under extremely
physically and mentally exhausting circumstances; and
WHEREAS, In resolutely facing, adapting to, and overcoming
the ever-evolving and unprecedented health care circumstances
thrust upon them, all associated with the hospital are indeed
deserving of recognition for their tireless heroic work on the
front lines in the war against COVID-19; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby commend the physicians, nurses, and entire
frontline personnel, including the support staff and
administration, of the Golden Plains Community Hospital for their
outstanding and noble heroic service to the people of Hutchinson
County and the greater Texas Panhandle region; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the staff of the Golden Plains Community Hospital as an
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
