| 5 | 10 | | Capitol; and |

| 6 | 11 | | WHEREAS, The history of the pharmacy profession in Texas |
|---|
| 7 | 12 | | dates back to the 17th century, when Spanish explorers and |
|---|
| 8 | 13 | | missionaries dispensed medicines and learned about Native |
|---|
| 9 | 14 | | American remedies; and |
|---|
| 10 | 15 | | WHEREAS, Today, pharmacists often serve as the primary |
|---|
| 11 | 16 | | point of contact with the health care system for tens of millions |
|---|
| 12 | 17 | | of Americans, and they play an increasingly important role in |
|---|

| 14 | 19 | | medications; and |
|---|
| 15 | 20 | | WHEREAS, Pharmacists work to provide affordable, |
|---|
| 16 | 21 | | lifesaving medications in rural areas across Texas and the United |

|---|
| 18 | 23 | | alongside patients as neighbors, friends, and community leaders |
|---|
| 19 | 24 | | in addition to their role as medical providers; such lasting |
|---|
| 20 | 25 | | relationships build trust and confidence, making pharmacists |

|---|
| 22 | 27 | | arise; and |
|---|
| 23 | 28 | | WHEREAS, Champions on the front lines of health care, |
|---|
| 24 | 29 | | pharmacists contribute immeasurably to the health and well-being |
|---|
| 25 | 30 | | of their fellow Texans, and it is truly a pleasure to recognize |
|---|
| 26 | 31 | | the members of this vital profession for their commitment to the |
|---|
| 27 | 32 | | quality of life in their communities; now, therefore, be it |
