Whereas, Dr. Bynoe's respect and reputation in the medical community has been further recognized by his inclusion in the 1999 "Who's Who for Physicians and Surgeons in the Southeast" and his induction in 2002 into the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma; and

Whereas, Dr. Bynoe also has a strong commitment to the community, and he has created Project READY, Readiness Education About Dying Young, an innovative crisis program that has positively affected hundreds of at-risk youth who are admitted to the program through the judicial system; and

Whereas, Dr. Bynoe is a member of many professional organizations, including the South Carolina Medical Association, American Medical Association, Columbia Medical Association, the Association of Academic Surgery's Society of Critical Care Medicine, Eastern Association of the Surgery of Trauma, American Trauma Society, American College of Surgeons Fellow, Society of Black Academic Surgeons, and founder and current director of Society of Carolina Surgeons; and

Whereas, the General Assembly is proud to honor Dr. Raymond P. Bynoe, his staff, and the many other personnel at Palmetto Richland Memorial Hospital who assisted in Representative Denny Neilson's recovery from her accident in February 2001. Now, therefore,

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

Bynoe of Columbia and his multi-disciplinary team, including Dr. Bradley Presnal, Dr. David B.
