“Creator
of all that is good and just, we are grateful for this day to be able to come
together, to make decisions, to engage in work for the residents of the state
of Michigan. Bless those who hold office in the government and specifically
those working in the House of Representatives this day.
May
they do their work in a spirit of wisdom, kindness, and justice. May all their
conversations, their decisions, their interactions be ones that are guided by a
desire to serve faithfully in furthering the general welfare of the state. Give
them the strength and patience while they do the difficult work of discerning,
compromising, and enacting legislation. May respect be shown and relationships
formed even in the midst of disagreements. May the decisions made in this place
bring about a greater sense of community and care for each other. Bless the
work carried out today, may the laws be fair and policies kept so that all
lives are enriched.
Creator
of Wisdom, may we all in our daily lives be made acutely aware of the needs
that surround us and be given the courage to address them with innovation and
tenacity so that Michigan is transformed into a place that speaks well of
humanity at its best. May blessings of peace, compassion, integrity,
creativity, and justice be poured out on our state this day and every day
after. Amen.”
Motions and Resolutions
House Resolution No. 30.
A
resolution to declare February 24-March 2, 2019, as Family Medicine Week in the
state of Michigan.
Whereas,
Michigan’s family physicians have historically demonstrated their dedication to
the health and well-being of this state’s citizens by emphasizing the family
and providing care to all patients; and
Whereas,
Family physicians have studied for a minimum of seven years from medical school
through residency and have received specialized training to provide primary
care and medical treatment for the families of this state; and
Whereas,
This care is based on knowledge of the whole person in the context of the
family and the community, and is not limited by age, sex, race, religion, or
type of health problem; and
Whereas,
Michigan’s Family Medicine practices provide high quality care, and reduce
costs to the health care system through leadership, collaboration and
innovation; and
Whereas,
Family physicians play a crucial role in ensuring the optimal health of
families across the state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body
declare February 24-March 2, 2019, as Family Medicine Week in the state of
Michigan. We support a robust, primary-care based health care system and
recognize the key role family physicians play in making Michigan healthy; and
