TO CONGRATULATE THE COMMUNITY MEDICAL CLINIC OF KERSHAW COUNTY ON THE OCCASION OF ITS TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY AND TO WISH THIS FINE ORGANIZATION ALL THE BEST AS IT SEEKS TO EMPOWER THE CITIZENS OF KERSHAW COUNTY TO LIVE HEALTHY LIVES.

Whereas, with much interest, the South Carolina House of Representatives notes that the Community Medical Clinic of Kershaw County (CMC) is celebrating its twentieth anniversary in 2019; and

Whereas, CMC's history is a unique story of a community coming together to improve lives, renew hope, and prevent diseases. The staff, volunteers, and supporters have one thing in common: They lead from within. These selfless individuals have a passion for the mission of the Community Medical Clinic, and for the last two decades that shared passion has allowed CMC to provide innovative healthcare to the uninsured and underserved residents of Kershaw County; and

Whereas, what started with one doctor, a part-time director, and a great deal of hard work has evolved into a healthcare organization that not only provides direct medical services but also implements innovative solutions to improve the health of the population. For the past twenty years, CMC has been empowering Kershaw County residents to live healthy lives; and

Whereas, CMC presently serves Kershaw County under five initiatives. The LiveWell Kershaw Coalition strives to foster collaboration among citizens of all ages, working in partnership with public and private sector organizations and schools to increase community awareness of health issues; AccessKershaw helps individuals navigate the maze of healthcare; Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas addresses the chronic health issues related to obesity, such as diabetes and heart disease; Scale 2.0 resources include the ability to participate in monthly webinars and training on tools to assist in the spread of the LiveWell Kershaw activities throughout the county; and 100 Million Healthier Lives pursues the goal of having one hundred million people living healthier lives by 2020 through fundamentally transforming the way the world thinks and acts to improve health, well-being, and equity; and

Whereas, thanks to successful partnerships, intelligent business decisions, a committed volunteer base, and community-based financial support, CMC offers a variety of programs and specialties to accomplish its mission; and

Whereas, grateful for the Community Medical Clinic's fine achievements over the past two decades, the House takes great pleasure in applauding CMC and in extending best wishes for many more years of excellence in service to Kershaw County. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the Community Medical Clinic of Kershaw County on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary and wish this fine organization all the best as it seeks to empower the citizens of Kershaw County to live healthy lives.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Community Medical Clinic of Kershaw County.
