TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR PANSY YATES, RN, BSN, AND TO EXPRESS DEEP APPRECIATION FOR THE YEARS SHE HAS VOLUNTEERED TO BE A DEDICATED AMBASSADOR TEAM LEAD AND FORMER STATE LEAD AMBASSADOR FOR THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY CANCER ACTION NETWORK.
Whereas, it is altogether fitting and proper that the South Carolina House of Representatives should pause in its deliberation to express profound appreciation to Pansy Yates for her more than thirty-five years as a volunteer with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network; and
Whereas, a native of Rock Hill and graduate of Greenville General Hospital School of Nursing and the University of South Carolina, she has worked in various areas of hospital nursing, the last fifteen years of which she has been a community-health and wellness coordinator at Piedmont Medical in Rock Hill; and
Whereas, Ms. Yates has been a volunteer with the American Cancer Society and American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network for more that thirty-five years, serving on the board for the South Carolina division, facilitator of several support groups, leader of Relay for Life, and state lead ambassador; and
Whereas, the past board chair of the South Carolina Women's Cancer Coalition and a member of the South Carolina Cancer Alliance, she has a passion for and dedication to fighting cancer, which has caused her to touch many lives around the Palmetto State; and
Whereas, Ms. Yates has worked on issues pertaining to access to care, prevention and early detection, palliative care, and survivorship; and
Whereas, she has been a driving force in public-policy change that impacts the fight against cancer not only in South Carolina but across the country; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are deeply grateful that Patsy Yates had devoted more than three and a half decades to the welfare of those who battle cancer in the State. 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 Pansy Yates, RN, BSN, and express deep appreciation for the years she has volunteered to be a dedicated ambassador team lead and former state lead ambassador for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Pansy Yates.
