SR840: SR840 Resurgens Roswell Surgery Center; recognize

This is a commemorative resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Resurgens Roswell Surgery Center, an orthopedic ambulatory surgery center, on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. The resolution recounts the center's history: it has served over 116,891 patients, introduced Total Joint Replacement procedures in 2015, provided more than $8.17 million in free indigent and hardship care, and been staffed by 217 individuals over the years, including 47 current employees. The Senate resolves to commend the center's leadership, physicians, and staff, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to the center for distribution.

• Formally recognizes the Resurgens Roswell Surgery Center's 25th anniversary as an official act of the Georgia Senate.
• Commends the center's leadership, physicians, and staff for their contributions to health care in Georgia.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the center.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement, since it is a ceremonial resolution rather than a bill.

The resolution directly names the Resurgens Roswell Surgery Center in Roswell, Georgia, including its administrators, physician partners, and current and former staff. It has no legal effect on other individuals, businesses, or agencies.

• The preamble notes the center provided $8,170,715.83 in free indigent and hardship care and has employed 217 individuals over its history, with 47 current staff.
• The resolved clause has the Senate recognize the center's 25th anniversary and commend its leadership, physicians, and staff.
