SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 69
|
 
|
             WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
 
|
recognize Columbus Community Hospital on its recent facility |
 
|
expansion and renovation and on its commitment to providing |
 
|
high-quality health care to the residents of Columbus and the |
 
|
surrounding areas; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, Columbus Community Hospital is a nonprofit |
 
|
community hospital that operates without a county or hospital |
 
|
district and is one of the largest employers in the area; the |
 
|
hospital has provided more than $2 million in uncompensated   |
 
|
patient care, and it has been recognized among the top |
 
|
hospitals nationwide on multiple occasions; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, In 2021, Columbus Community Hospital launched |
 
|
its expansion project with the aim of updating and expanding |
 
|
both inpatient and outpatient care facilities and establishing |
 
|
a wellness center with a range of amenities; the project was |
 
|
carried out without the use of local, state tax funds or |
 
|
federal funding, and its completion has enabled the hospital |
 
|
to serve a greater number of patients and to offer a broader |
 
|
range of health care options; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, The project involved the addition of a new |
 
|
facility space, including new patient exam rooms, four |
 
|
additional nursery bays, and a new anesthesia care unit |
 
|
equipped with 10 recovery beds and two pre-operative beds; |
 
|
renovation efforts included updates to the hospital's |
 
|
emergency rooms, labor and delivery room, nurses' station, and |
 
|
medical office building, and in 2022, the hospital opened its |
 
|
Wellness Center offering state-of-the-art fitness equipment, |
 
|
an indoor track, a group fitness studio, physical therapy |
 
|
services, a pool, and a demonstration kitchen; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, Columbus Community Hospital has shown outstanding |
 
|
dedication in serving the residents of the Columbus area, and it |
 
|
is truly fitting that this exemplary institution receive special |
 
|
recognition on its ongoing commitment to providing exceptional |
 
|
care to the people of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it |
 
|
             RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
 
|
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commend all associated |
 
|
with Columbus Community Hospital on their outstanding |
 
|
contributions to public health and wellness in the state and |
 
|
extend to them best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
 
|
             RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
 
|
Columbus Community Hospital as an expression of esteem from the |
 
|
Texas Senate. |
