R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, El Paso Children's Hospital is celebrating the 13th
anniversary of its founding in 2025; and
WHEREAS, The idea to establish a hospital in El Paso
specializing in pediatric care was first conceived by a group of
concerned citizens in 1993, and after years of advocacy, Thomason
Hospital took on the project; in November 2007, local voters
approved a bond issue for the facility, and on February 14, 2012,
the hospital opened its doors; and
WHEREAS, Since its inception, El Paso Children's Hospital has
helped to decrease outmigration for pediatric subspecialty and
surgical care by 80 percent; accredited by The Joint Commission and
the College of American Pathologists, the hospital is home to a
Level IV neonatal intensive care unit as well as the Southwest
University Pediatric Blood and Cancer Unit; moreover, the facility
has the distinction of being an affiliate of Children's Oncology
Group; and
WHEREAS, Over the past 13 years, El Paso Children's Hospital
has provided expert and compassionate care to countless young
Texans, and the members of its medical, support, and administrative
staff may indeed take great pride in its outstanding record of
service; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 13th anniversary of El Paso
Children's Hospital and extend to all those associated with the
institution sincere best wishes for continued success with their
important work; and, be it further
