Councilmember Hardin introduced the following resolution and moved for its adoption: <br /> <br />RESOLUTION #92-11-304 <br /> <br />RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 29 THROUGH DECEMBER <br />5, 1992 AS HOME CARE WEEK IN THE CITY OF RAMSEY <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, Ramsey citizens of ail ages and economic levels are concerned about b_igh quality, <br />affordable, long-term health care. Home care provides a wide range of these needed heaith and supportive <br />services to the ill, elderly, disabled and infirm in their own homes. The concept of home care is the oldest and <br />most enduring tradition of health service delivery in the United States of America; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, surveys show that most people prefer to receive medical care and related supportive <br />services in their homes. There is also a significant and growing body of evidence that home care services <br />stimulate quicker and fuller recoveries and improvements than comparable services within institutions; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, home care allows our disabled and chronically ill citizens of all ages to remain with <br />their loved ones in surroundings that are familiar and comfortable. In so doing, home care helps preserve one <br />of the country's most important social values, keeping families together;, and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, as our citizens require more in-home care, Ramsey home care agencies are meeting <br />that challenge. Home care agencies are providing services ranging from assistance with personal care to high- <br />tcch intravenous drug therapies; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, with rapidly rising health care costs, home care offers a practical means of providing <br />health care and related services to those who desperately need them. By offering these services in the home, <br />we can treat our elderly, disabled and chronically ill population comfortably, cost-effectively and with high <br />quality, individualized health care and supportive services. <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />RAMSEY, ANOKA COUNTY, STATE OF MINNESOTA, as follows: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />That the Ramsey City Council hereby proclaims the week of November 29 through December 5, 1992 <br />as Home Care Week in the City of Ramsey. <br /> <br />The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman <br />and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: <br /> <br />Mayor Gilbertson <br />Councilmember Hardin <br />Councilmember Zimmerman <br /> <br />and the following voted against the same: <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />and the following abstained: <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />and the following were absent: <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer <br />Councilmember Peterson <br /> <br />whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted by the Ramsey City Council this the 24th <br />day of November, 1992. <br /> <br /> ATTEST: <br />~{t~ A~dministrator <br /> <br /> <br />
