"Designating Thursday, February 23, 2006 as 'Hospital Day'."
Whereas, Hospitals play a critical role in improving the
health of our citizens; and
Whereas, Last year West Virginia hospitals treated six
million people in their outpatient departments, provided
emergency care to over one million patients, delivered 20,000
babies, performed nearly a quarter of a million surgeries and
cared for 316,000 people as inpatients; and
Whereas, Hospitals are an important part of our educational
system with instructional programs that provide for a wide range
of service, technical and professional positions; and
Whereas, Hospitals contribute more than $5.6 billion annually
to the State's economy; and
Whereas, Hospitals employ over 39,000 people, and directly or
indirectly, support one of every nine jobs in the State;
therefore be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That the House of Delegates hereby designates February 23,
2006, as "Hospital Day," and be it
Further Resolved, That the House of Delegates expresses its
appreciation to hospitals and health care workers across the
State for the contributions they make and the services they
provide to improve the health of the citizens of West Virginia;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates
forward a certified copy of this resolution to the appropriate
officials with the West Virginia Hospital Association.
