The resolution honors the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) for its significant contributions to rural health care, education, and research in Texas. Established in 1969 and renamed in 1979, TTUHSC has evolved into a comprehensive health research institution dedicated to addressing the health care needs of underserved populations, particularly in West Texas, which covers a vast area and a substantial portion of the state's population. The university is committed to expanding access to care through innovative models and has graduated over 42,000 health care professionals across various disciplines, including medicine, nursing, and pharmacy.

TTUHSC is recognized nationally for its academic achievements and innovative programs, including the pioneering use of telehealth to serve rural communities. The institution comprises six schools and has multiple locations throughout Texas, providing high-quality education and community-based services that address the unique challenges of rural health care. The resolution expresses the Texas Senate's high regard for TTUHSC and extends best wishes for its continued success, with an official copy of the resolution to be prepared for the university.
