SR 840: Resurgens Roswell Surgery Center; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes the Resurgens Roswell Surgery Center, an orthopedic ambulatory surgery center, on the occasion of its 25th year in operation. The resolution recounts the center's history, including the number of patients it has served, its staff stability, its introduction of outpatient total joint replacement surgery in 2015, and the amount of free care it has given to patients who could not afford treatment. The resolution's operative effect is limited to two things: it states that the Senate recognizes and commends the center's leadership, physicians, and staff, and it directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for the center. It does not create any new requirement, funding, or legal change.

• Formally recognizes and commends the Resurgens Roswell Surgery Center on its 25th anniversary of operation in Georgia.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the surgery center.
• Creates no new law, funding, requirement, or penalty; it is a symbolic statement by the Senate.

The resolution directly names the Resurgens Roswell Surgery Center, its leadership, physicians, and staff, including its 47 current employees. It has no legal effect on any other individuals, businesses, or government agencies.

Because this is a commendatory resolution, it does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose obligations. Its practical effect is limited to an official statement of recognition from the Senate and a commemorative copy given to the surgery center.

• The whereas clauses recount the center's 25-year history, including serving 116,891 patients and introducing Total Joint Replacement procedures in 2015.
• The whereas clauses note the center provided $8,170,715.83 in free indigent and hardship care.
• The resolving clause states the Senate recognizes the anniversary and commends the center's leadership, physicians, and staff.
• The final clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to make a copy available for distribution to the center.
