SR 338: Crawford, Dr. Sherell Vicks; congratulate

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Dr. Sherell Vicks Crawford, a physician originally from Camilla, Georgia, for receiving the 2025 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leader Award, an honor given each year during Women's History Month by the Georgia Legislative Women's Caucus. The resolution recounts her medical education at Meharry Medical College and residency at the Medical College of Georgia, her early career with Kaiser Permanente and DeKalb Medical Center, and her role since 2001 as president and CEO of Hillandale Medical Associates, PC, in Lithonia. The Senate formally congratulates her and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send her a copy of the resolution.

• It directs the Secretary of the Senate to make a copy available for distribution to Dr. Crawford (further resolving clause).
