H.R. No. 61
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston
has been named a 2025 High Performing Hospital for Maternity Care by
U.S. News & World Report; and
WHEREAS, Since 2021, U.S. News & World Report has published
an annual ranking of hospitals that provide labor and delivery
services; the ranking is designed to assist expectant parents in
making informed decisions about where to receive maternity care in
consultation with their prenatal care team; and
WHEREAS, UTMB earned a High Performing designation by
U.S. News based on its scores in several categories, including care
provided in cases involving severe unexpected newborn
complications, birthing-friendly practices, and transparency in
reporting on racial and ethnic disparities in birth outcomes; it
was among more than 800 hospitals from across the United States that
were evaluated as part of this year's study; and
WHEREAS, This prestigious national designation is a
testament to The University of Texas Medical Branch's commitment to
upholding the highest standards of practice for the women and
infants entrusted to its care, and the Galveston community is
indeed fortunate to be home to such a first-rate health care
provider; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate The University of Texas Medical
Branch in Galveston on its recognition as a 2025 High Performing
Hospital for Maternity Care by U.S. News & World Report and extend
to its administration and staff sincere best wishes for continued
success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for UTMB as an expression of high regard by the Texas House
of Representatives.
