Whereas, returning to his native South Carolina, Dr. Farish joined a medical group whose pediatric practice he would later buy out to establish his own office. He began the practice with only 200 patients and soon recruited Dr. Richard F. Davis of California to join him in concentrating on providing medical care to children; and

Whereas, the practice flourished, becoming known as Eastern Carolina Pediatric Associates in the 1990s, and growing to include four additional pediatricians and a pediatric nurse practitioner; and

Whereas, the devoted husband of over thirty years to wife Luanne, his dedication to children and loving nature serve him well as father to twin sons Cameron and Geoffrey and daughter Amanda and grandfather of two with one on the way; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are proud to recognize Dr. Morrison Farish for his professional excellence, dedication, and service to children. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly recognize and commend Dr. C. Morrison Farish of Darlington for over twenty years of dedication to pediatric medicine in the State of South Carolina and wish him much success and happiness as he continues to provide medical care to children in the Pee Dee area.
