The resolution honors Amelia "Molly" Bluhm for her remarkable 55-year career in nursing, culminating in her retirement from Tropical Texas Behavioral Health in January 2025. Bluhm began her healthcare journey at a hospital nursing home and later joined Edinburg Diagnostic and Evaluation Center, now known as Tropical Texas Behavioral Health, in 1969. Throughout her tenure, she held various roles, including working in the day activity center and as a licensed vocational nurse in the children's department for the past 25 years. Her dedication to building strong connections with her patients and witnessing the evolution of mental health treatment in South Texas has been a significant aspect of her career.
The Texas House of Representatives expresses its congratulations to Bluhm on her retirement and acknowledges her commitment to upholding the highest standards in her profession. The resolution serves as a formal recognition of her achievements and contributions to mental health care, as well as an expression of best wishes for her future endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for her as a token of high regard from the Texas House.
