40-home-healthProclamation 2005-40
WHEREAS Home care is the preferred method of health care delivery among a growing number of people who are disabled, elderly and chronically ill. Blending the professional care of the
hospital setting with the warmth of the home environment, home care offers many people the opportunity to live with their families and friends while receiving the care they need; and
WHEREAS The Texas Association for Home Care (TAHC) with more than 600 members who provide home care and other community support services throughout the Lone Star State, is working to
keep Texans proud and independent. The support network formed by this dedicated group of home care professionals will continue to play a vital role in health care delivery for many
Texans. TAHC has designated November as “Home Care Month” to raise public awareness of the availability and advantages of home care. The adopted theme is “Caring & Courage: Heroes
with Heart;” and
WHEREAS At this time, we encourage all citizens to learn more about home care options and to recognize the hard work and dedication of home care providers and their contributions to
the well-being of the people of all ages. Their work helps ensure a better quality of life for individuals and their loved ones;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY PROCLAIMED, by the power vested in me as Mayor of the City of Huntsville, Texas that:
November 2005
Be declared:
HOME CARE MONTH
in the City of Huntsville, Texas, and urge the appropriate recognition whereof .
PROCLAIMED AND SIGNED on this the 11th day of November 2005.
THE CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS
