State Rep Bryan Slaton
Representative Bryan Slaton, who represents Hopkins, Hunt, and Van Zandt counties in the state legislature, has filed a bill to ensure individuals’ right in hospitals and other facilities to be visited by their immediate family and religious clergy during their end-of-life care. Slaton said the bill would ensure that no one will have to face their last weeks, days, or hours without the comfort of their immediate family, clergy, or pastors.
