H.R. No. 440 is a resolution commemorating the 30th anniversary of Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, which will be celebrated in 2025. The organization has its roots in the 1955 establishment of a nonprofit by the Southwest Conference of The United Methodist Church, aimed at providing accessible healthcare. Since its founding in 1995, Methodist Healthcare Ministries has expanded its services to include primary medical and dental care, counseling, and various community support programs across 74 counties. The organization has also collaborated with over 150 funding partners, investing more than $82 million in initiatives to enhance healthcare access, food security, and economic mobility, exemplified by projects like the Healthy Corner Store initiative.

The resolution highlights the recognition Methodist Healthcare Ministries has received for its exemplary business practices, including the 2024 Governor's Texas Award for Performance Excellence. This accolade underscores the organization's commitment to leadership, strategic planning, and customer focus. The resolution expresses gratitude for the compassionate care provided by the staff and acknowledges their significant contributions to the health and well-being of the communities they serve. The Texas House of Representatives extends its best wishes for the future of Methodist Healthcare Ministries and plans to prepare an official copy of the resolution as a token of high regard.
