En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law, spend any state money, or create any new program. Instead it formally recognizes Larry M. Lehman, who spent 34 years as President and CEO of Positive Impact Health Centers (PIHC) in the metro Atlanta area, for his work expanding HIV prevention, clinical care, behavioral health, and related services. The resolution recounts his career, including growing PIHC's budget from $3 million in 2015 to more than $177 million, and merging AIDS Gwinnett with Positive Impact debt free. The House commends him on his upcoming retirement at the end of 2026 and directs the Clerk of the House to send him a copy of the resolution.
