|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Teleton USA for its exemplary work in the field of |
|
|
children's health care; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Teleton USA is a nonprofit foundation dedicated |
|
|
to serving children with neuromusculoskeletal disabilities, |
|
|
cancer, and autism through comprehensive rehabilitation; it |
|
|
promotes the children's full development and inclusion in |
|
|
society and works to effect change in their lives and in the lives |
|
|
of the people around them; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, To further its goals, the organization will build |
|
|
and operate Children's Rehabilitation Centers across the |
|
|
country; these facilities will resemble the more than 20 centers |
|
|
operated by Teleton Mexico, which has given its full support to |
|
|
the United States efforts; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, The initial American center will be built in San |
|
|
Antonio and will accommodate up to 600 children, with fees based |
|
|
upon the family's ability to pay; a team of doctors, therapists, |
|
|
and counselors will develop a treatment plan for each child that |
|
|
relies upon the involvement of the child's entire family; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Teleton USA can make a profound difference in the |
|
|
lives of children and it is truly deserving of recognition as it |
|
|
begins its work in the United States; now, therefore, be it |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
|
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commend Teleton USA on |
|
|
its outstanding work on behalf of children and extend best wishes |
|
|
for success in all its endeavors; and, be it further |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the organization as an expression of esteem from the Texas |
|
|
Senate. |
