A RESOLUTION
Recognizing February 10, 2026, as Dr. Indran B. Indrakrishnan Day at the state capitol; and
for other purposes.
WHEREAS, Dr. Indran B. Indrakrishnan is a respected gastroenterologist, physician leader,
and long-standing advocate for public health whose work has positively impacted
communities across the State of Georgia; and
WHEREAS, beyond clinical medicine, Dr. Indrakrishnan has demonstrated sustained
commitment to public service by engaging constructively with policymakers, community
organizations, and healthcare leaders to advance preventive care, early detection, and health
education for Georgians; and
WHEREAS, at the initiative of Dr. Indrakrishnan, the Governor of Georgia issued a historic
proclamation designating February 4 as Georgia Cancer Day, marking the first time in the
state's history that a unified, general cancer awareness day-rather than one limited to a single
cancer type-has been formally recognized; and
WHEREAS, this landmark proclamation reflects a broader public health vision that promotes
collaboration across cancer types, medical specialties, and community partners, strengthening
statewide awareness and prevention efforts; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Indrakrishnan has continued to serve as a trusted, nonpartisan physician
voice at the intersection of medicine and public policy, offering practical clinical insight in
support of informed decision-making for the benefit of the people of Georgia; and
WHEREAS, over multiple years, Dr. Indrakrishnan's enduring service has demonstrated
leadership defined not by position or title, but by consistency, collaboration, and a steadfast
commitment to improving health outcomes statewide; and
WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that the continued public service and
leadership of this distinguished Georgian be once again recognized.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that
the members of this body recognize February 10, 2026, as Dr. Indran B. Indrakrishnan Day
at the State Capitol in honor of his sustained and deeply valuable contributions to public
health and service in the State of Georgia.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to Dr.
Indran B. Indrakrishnan.
