H.R. No. 355
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The COVID-19 pandemic has required health care
providers to grapple with a range of unprecedented challenges, and
the physicians, nurses, administrators, and other staff members at
Rio Grande Regional Hospital in McAllen have distinguished
themselves by providing Hidalgo County residents with the highest
standards of care; and
WHEREAS, In meeting this global health crisis, hospital
workers have been forced to adapt to rapidly changing

emergency rooms, hospital wards, and intensive care units, where
they have continued to heroically perform their duties under
difficult and extremely stressful conditions; and
WHEREAS, The dedicated staff members at Rio Grande Regional
Hospital have met these challenges with tremendous resolve; this
includes not only physicians, nurses, and other frontline
personnel, but also those in leadership positions, who have
developed and implemented new strategies for navigating the ongoing
crisis; and
WHEREAS, Through their exemplary work, the accomplished
professionals at Rio Grande Regional Hospital have brought hope to
their community in this time of uncertainty, and in so doing, they
have earned the heartfelt gratitude of the Texans they serve; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby honor the physicians, nurses, administrators,
and other staff members at Rio Grande Regional Hospital for their
inspiring efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic and commend them on
a job well done; 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.
