HR 204: Hemophilia of Georgia; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Hemophilia of Georgia, a nonprofit founded in 1973 that provides pharmacy services, nursing outreach, social support, education, and research funding for people with hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease, and other inherited bleeding disorders. The resolution lists the organization's accomplishments, including six-star status from the National Hemophilia Foundation, dual pharmacy accreditation, partnerships with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Emory University's Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, and its summer camp program for children. The House resolves to extend a formal greeting and commendation to the organization, its staff, volunteers, and the people it serves. The Clerk of the House is directed to make a copy of the resolution available to Hemophilia of Georgia.
