VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR JEANNE L. WARD, PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF OCONEE MEDICAL CENTER, FOR BEING NAMED A WINNER OF THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION'S 2008 GRASSROOTS CHAMPIONS AWARD.
Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to note that Jeanne L. Ward, president and chief executive officer of Oconee Medical Center, has been named a winner of the American Hospital Association's 2008 Grassroots Champions award; and
Whereas, created by the American Hospital Association in conjunction with state hospital associations, the Grassroots Champions award honors one leader from each state who has delivered effectively the hospitals' message to elected officials, led efforts to broaden the base of community support for hospitals, and advocated tirelessly on behalf of patients, hospitals, and health systems; and
Whereas, 2008 recipient Jeanne Ward, who earned her doctorate in education from Clemson University, currently serves on the South Carolina Hospital Association's Board of Trustees and the Small and Rural Council. Over the years, she has been a strong advocate for hospitals in South Carolina and continues to maintain a working relationship with the State's congressional delegation, local legislators, and the members of her community; and
Whereas, a longtime member of the American Hospital Association and several other professional organizations, Dr. Ward has served as president of the South Carolina State Board of Nursing Advisory Committee and the South Carolina Organization of Nurse Executives, and she is a fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives; and
Whereas, Dr. Ward was formally presented with the Grassroots Champions award at the third annual Grassroots Champions breakfast, a special event honoring all those men and women chosen as "going the extra mile" on behalf of America's hospitals; and
Whereas, this honor is a fitting tribute to an exemplary hospital administrator and nurse with a high dedication to her calling equaling the eminence of the award, and the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in recognizing Jeanne L. Ward as the 2008 South Carolina recipient. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Jeanne L. Ward, president and chief executive officer of Oconee Medical Center, for being named a winner of the American Hospital Association's 2008 Grassroots Champions award.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Dr. Jeanne L. Ward.
