Congratulating The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center on being named the best cancer care facility in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.
This is a congratulatory resolution, not a substantive bill. It formally recognizes the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center for being named the top cancer care facility in the U.S. by *U.S. News & World Report* for the 11th consecutive year. The resolution highlights MD Anderson's consistent national rankings since 1990, its 2025 rankings in specific specialties, its role as the world's largest cancer clinical trials program, and its 2024 patient care and research statistics. As a ceremonial resolution, it has no policy impact - it simply expresses the Texas House of Representatives' praise for the institution's achievements.
