SR346: SR346 Dr. Indran B. Indrakrishnan Day; recognize March 10, 2025

Last action March 6, 2025 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution honors gastroenterologist Dr. Indran B. Indrakrishnan by designating March 10, 2025 as Dr. Indran B. Indrakrishnan Day at the state capitol.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Dr. Indran B. Indrakrishnan, a gastroenterologist and adjunct professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, for his medical career and community service in Georgia. The resolution details his board service with charitable organizations, his role as the first physician of Asian heritage appointed to the Georgia Board of Healthcare Workforce, and various awards he has received. It formally designates March 10, 2025 as Dr. Indran B. Indrakrishnan Day at the state capitol and directs the Secretary of the Senate to give him a copy of the resolution.
