Senate Resolution No. 206 commemorates the 30th anniversary of Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, which has its roots in the establishment of a nonprofit by the Southwest Conference of The United Methodist Church in 1955. The organization has evolved to become the largest healthcare provider in San Antonio and surrounding counties, offering a wide range of services including primary medical and dental care, counseling, and community wellness programs across 74 counties. Methodist Healthcare Ministries has also made significant contributions to community health through initiatives like the Healthy Corner Store program and the Medical-Legal Partnership, investing over $82 million in grants and partnerships to enhance access to care and improve community well-being.

The resolution acknowledges the exemplary service and leadership of Methodist Healthcare Ministries, which has been recognized with the 2024 Governor's Texas Award for Performance Excellence. This honor highlights the organization's commitment to quality care and effective management practices. The Texas Senate extends its best wishes to all associated with Methodist Healthcare Ministries as they celebrate this milestone and continue their mission of providing compassionate care to the community. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas Senate.
