SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 908
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the Peterson Regional Medical Center Auxiliary for 40 |
|
years of outstanding service to the Kerrville community; and |
|
WHEREAS, Established in 1977, the auxiliary is an |
|
organization of engaged volunteers who give of their time and |
|
talents to serve the Peterson Regional Medical Center and to |
|
support patients and their families; and |
|
WHEREAS, In the years since the auxiliary's founding, |
|
members have worked together to meet the varying needs of the |
|
hospital and its patients; they have hosted innumerable |
|
fund-raisers to help purchase medical equipment and teaching |
|
tools, and between 1977 and 2008, the group funded 73 |
|
scholarships for nursing students; and |
|
WHEREAS, The auxiliary is also credited with initiating a |
|
waiting room service in the intensive care unit to report |
|
patients' conditions to family members, and it has established |
|
specialized volunteer areas to assist medical staff and provide |
|
supplemental services to patients; in the 1980s, auxiliary |
|
volunteers established a much-needed gift shop in the hospital, |
|
and over the years, it has become one of the group's most |
|
successful fund-raising endeavors; and |
|
WHEREAS, On May 11, 2017, members of the Peterson Regional |
|
Medical Center Auxiliary family gathered at Saint Peter's |
|
Episcopal Church to celebrate the organization's four decades of |
|
service in the Kerrville community; the volunteers can indeed |
|
take pride in their invaluable support of the medical center and |
|
their work on behalf of area citizens; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
