Bill > HR477

This resolution commemorates the 125th anniversary of Baylor College of Medicine, recognizing the institution's significant contributions to medical education, research, and community service since its founding in 1900. Originally established in Dallas as the University of Dallas Medical Department and later affiliated with Baylor University, the college moved to the Texas Medical Center in Houston in 1943 and became an independent institution in 1969. The resolution highlights the college's achievements, including its top ranking in Texas for National Institutes of Health funding, its commitment to training healthcare professionals (with nearly half of its graduating medical students continuing their training in Texas), and its pioneering work in medical research such as cardiovascular surgery and genome sequencing. The college is praised for its extensive community outreach, including medical services at various healthcare facilities, educational programs for K-12 students, partnerships with schools to address healthcare workforce shortages, and global healthcare initiatives. The resolution expresses sincere best wishes for the institution's continued success and orders an official copy of the resolution to be prepared for Baylor College of Medicine as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
