This resolution commemorates the 30th anniversary of Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, recognizing the organization's significant contributions to healthcare and community services. Tracing its roots back to 1955 with the Southwest Conference of The United Methodist Church, the nonprofit has grown to become the largest healthcare provider in San Antonio and 26 surrounding counties. The organization offers a wide range of services including primary medical and dental care, counseling, case management, and community health programs across 74 counties. Notable achievements include investing over $82 million in community grants, launching innovative initiatives like the Healthy Corner Store program to address food deserts, and establishing a Medical-Legal Partnership to support patients' health-related legal needs. The resolution highlights the organization's recent recognition with the 2024 Governor's Texas Award for Performance Excellence, which commended its leadership, strategic planning, and commitment to customer and workforce care. By adopting this resolution, the Texas House of Representatives officially honors Methodist Healthcare Ministries' outstanding service and extends best wishes for its continued impact in the community.
