Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Thomas Street Health Center's legacy as the first freestanding HIV clinic in Houston and the Nation. Since 1989, Thomas Street Health Center has been a vital source of care for over 5,000 patients living with HIV/AIDS. This outstanding achievement is a testament to the exceptional research and collaboration between healthcare providers, patients, and the broader healthcare community. Thomas Street Health Center is moving to a new facility next month. This is a significant step forward, opening many possibilities for enhancing the patient experience. We bid farewell to this historic old location as it created many positive memories and contributions to the community. The Northside community will miss the people and the patients, but the building will forever remain as a reminder of the work that created such a difference in the lives of so many people at that site. We look forward to a bright future for Thomas Street Health Center in this new era. We congratulate them and we bid them well. ____________________
