|---|
| 8 | 9 | | WHEREAS, A growing alternative to hospitalization for acute |
|---|
| 9 | 10 | | care, ambulatory surgery centers perform outpatient procedures |
|---|
| 10 | 11 | | that enable individuals to check out the same day and recover in the |

|---|
| 12 | 13 | | WHEREAS, Many common procedures, such as cataract removal, |

| 13 | 14 | | colonoscopies, knee arthroscopies, and tonsillectomies, are now |
|---|
| 14 | 15 | | performed in surgery centers; licensed by the Texas Department of |
|---|
| 15 | 16 | | State Health Services, these facilities employ numerous health care |
|---|
| 16 | 17 | | professionals across the state and treat hundreds of thousands of |
|---|
| 17 | 18 | | patients each year; and |
|---|
| 18 | 19 | | WHEREAS, By providing convenient, high-quality medical care |
|---|
| 19 | 20 | | at a comparatively low cost, ambulatory surgery centers are helping |
|---|
| 20 | 21 | | to ensure the health and well-being of countless Texas residents, |
|---|
| 21 | 22 | | and they are indeed deserving of recognition for the important role |
|---|
| 22 | 23 | | they play in the state's health care system; now, therefore, be it |
|---|
| 23 | 24 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|---|
| 24 | 25 | | Legislature hereby recognize Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center |
|---|
