A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE APPRECIATION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO COMMISSIONER MICHAEL DOYLE JARRETT FOR HIS EXTRAORDINARY SERVICE AND DEDICATION TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, Michael Doyle Jarrett was named Commissioner of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control in 1986 after twelve years of public service with the agency; and

Whereas, he is admired for his contributions to the advancement of South Carolina's public health system and the protection of our state's environment; and

Whereas, as a state agency head, he has faced difficult decisions with courage and demonstrated unwavering commitment and dedication to duty; and

Whereas, through his efforts, a public health agenda has been established for the State which further defines and increases awareness of public health issues in South Carolina; and

Whereas, he has worked to improve the health status of our state's minority citizens; and

Whereas, he has set as a priority of his administration to ensure a healthy start in life to our state's youngest citizens through increased access to prenatal and pediatric care, greater funding for immunizations for children, and improved services to infants and toddlers with disabilities; and

Whereas, he has forged a partnership between the public health agency and private providers of prenatal, pediatric, and dental care in an effort to enhance access and improve the quality of care; and

Whereas, Mike Jarrett has strengthened and directed the agency's orientation toward providing services which are considerate of the consumer's needs; and

Whereas, he has developed an understanding among agency staff and in the public in general of the linkage between health and environmental quality control; and

Whereas, the love and respect in which he is held is evidenced by the many awards and honors which he has received, including the Order of the Palmetto in 1990 by Governor Carroll A. Campbell, the Perinatal Achievement Award in 1990 by the Perinatal Association, the Environmental Leadership Award in 1990 by North Carolina and South Carolina Environmental Schools, the Outstanding State Employee of the Year Award in 1991 by the South Carolina State Employee's Association, and the Public Administrator of the Year Award in 1991 by the American Society for Public Administration. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly express their appreciation to Commissioner Michael Doyle Jarrett for his extraordinary service and dedication to the State of South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Commissioner Jarrett.
