This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Jennifer Yansom, who received the EDWCM Support Staff of the Year award. The award recognizes outstanding long-term and post-acute care professionals through the Georgia health care association's Stars in Long Term Care program, which honors people who serve elderly and disabled Georgians. The resolution does not change any Georgia law or create any new program. It simply states the House's praise for Yansom's character and contributions to seniors, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
