A landlord who owns seven apartment buildings in Florida has just announced that he intends to evict any tenant who has not received at least one dose of the CCP virus vaccine. This comes at a time when other states are imposing draconian restrictions on the non-vaccinated. The unvaccinated are being told they won't be admitted to sports arenas, bars, and numerous other venues.

Matthew 20:11 & 12, When they received their wages, they begin to grumble against the landowner. “These men who were hired last worked only one hour,” they said, “and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.”

The designation of Doctors Hospital at Renaissance (DHR) in Edinburg as the first Level 1 trauma facility in the Rio Grande Valley is a historic and momentous occasion. This designation is a true testament of the leadership of the DHR Board of Directors, hospital administrators, physicians, and staff. Achieving this designation takes years of building the infrastructure needed such as facilities and personnel and requires a significant financial commitment. The vision, dedication, and commitment of DHR is to be commended. Our Valley delegation worked with DHR to ensure the State of Texas did its part in providing the support and a portion of the funding needed to help make this vision a reality.
