HOUSE RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, Medical Laboratory Week recognizes the contributions of the scientific and technical personnel whose work in the clinical laboratory helps us give our nation the best possible health care; and

WHEREAS, The clinical laboratorian is the key member of a health care term; the dedicated efforts of laboratory professionals often go unnoticed by the general public as well as by the very institutions employing their services; with the public now demanding the assurance of quality health care and professional accountability, organizations representing practitioners of this critical science have a responsibility to ensure that the public is well informed about the clinical laboratory competency; and

WHEREAS, The celebration of Medical Laboratory Week will help increase recognition for the profession as it improves the individual practitioner's sense of self-worth; and

WHEREAS, The week of April 18th through the 24th of 2004, will be observed nationally as Medical Laboratory Week; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-THIRD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we recognize Medical Laboratory Week and the dedicated efforts of laboratory professionals; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to Elizabeth C. Warren, Rush Copley Medical Center Laboratory Week Coordinator, as a token of our respect.
