WHEREAS, Midland Health is celebrating National Nurses Week
on May 6-12, 2023; and
WHEREAS, More than 600 nurses are employed at Midland
Memorial Hospital and other facilities comprising the Midland
Health system; they play an indispensable role in the delivery of
health care in the community, and the depth and breadth of their
expertise ensures that they are able to meet the wide-ranging needs
of their patients; and
WHEREAS, Nurses are caregivers, healers, and patient
advocates who are committed to providing quality care to patients,
including vulnerable members of society; the demand for nursing
services is expected to increase due to the aging of the U.S.
population, the expansion of life-sustaining technologies, and the
explosive growth of home health care services, and more qualified
nurses will be needed to keep pace with this demand in the future;
and
WHEREAS, Through the challenging yet rewarding work they
perform, nurses have played an essential role in ensuring that
patients at Midland Health are treated to the highest standards of
care, and National Nurses Week provides a welcome opportunity to
honor these outstanding professionals; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize May 6-12, 2023, as Midland Health
Nurses Week and extend to the nurses of Midland Health sincere
appreciation for their exceptional service to their community.
