 A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO CONGRATULATE SELF REGIONAL HEALTHCARE IN GREENWOOD ON
 THE DEDICATION OF ITS NEW CANCER CENTER AND TO THANK SELF FOR ITS YEARS OF
 INVALUABLE SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.

   04/27/11  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 1)

TO CONGRATULATE SELF REGIONAL HEALTHCARE IN GREENWOOD ON THE DEDICATION OF ITS NEW CANCER CENTER AND TO THANK SELF FOR ITS YEARS OF INVALUABLE SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.

Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Self Regional Healthcare in Greenwood has dedicated its new $25 million Cancer Center; and

Whereas, begun in 1951 as Self Memorial Hospital, Self Regional Healthcare in Greenwood is a regional referral center serving patients in a seven-county region. To this day, Self continues serving the area well, guided by the mission that underlay its founding: the giving of advanced care with leading-edge technology. Its new Cancer Center has grown out of Self's constant striving to follow faithfully its original mission; and

Whereas, the forty-thousand-foot complex of the new Cancer Center took eighteen months to complete and allows all three of the hospital's clinical cancer services, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and chemotherapy, to be housed in one convenient area on the hospital's ground floor; and

Whereas, the Cancer Center includes a dedicated entrance and parking, healing garden, learning center, café, boutique for wigs and prosthetics, laboratory, pharmacy, tumor registry, and other features to help meet the needs of cancer patients; and

Whereas, thirty-two chairs and beds are featured in the infusion area, the medical oncology section includes fifteen rooms, and two linear accelerators allow for treatment in the radiation oncology area; and

Whereas, close to fifteen hundred Greenwood area residents turned out April 11-12, 2011, for a preview of the Cancer Center, which will see its first patients on Monday, April 18, 2011; and

Whereas, cognizant of Self's indispensable value to the wide area it serves, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in congratulating Self Regional Healthcare on the dedication of its new Cancer Center, and the members wish Self's administrative and medical staff all the best in the years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Self Regional Healthcare in Greenwood on the dedication of its new Cancer Center and thank Self for its years of invaluable service to the community.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Self Regional Healthcare.
