The resolution congratulates The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston for being named a 2025 High Performing Hospital for Maternity Care by U.S. News & World Report. This recognition is part of an annual ranking that evaluates hospitals providing labor and delivery services, aimed at helping expectant parents make informed decisions about maternity care. UTMB earned this designation based on its performance in various categories, including handling severe newborn complications, implementing birthing-friendly practices, and demonstrating transparency regarding racial and ethnic disparities in birth outcomes.

The resolution highlights the significance of this prestigious designation as a reflection of UTMB's commitment to maintaining high standards of care for women and infants. It expresses pride in the Galveston community for having such a reputable healthcare provider and extends best wishes for continued success to the administration and staff of UTMB. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a formal acknowledgment of this achievement by the Texas House of Representatives.
