COMMITTEE REPORT
January 28, 1999
S. 197
S. Printed 1/28/99--H.
Read the first time January 26, 1999.
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 197), to declare January 16, 1999, as the Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Palmetto Richland Memorial Hospital Day, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:
RICHARD M. QUINN, JR., for Committee.
TO DECLARE JANUARY 16, 1999, AS THE CHILDREN'S CENTER FOR CANCER AND BLOOD DISORDERS AT PALMETTO RICHLAND MEMORIAL HOSPITAL DAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, the incidence of cancer and other life threatening blood disorders is an unfortunate reality for many children in our State; and
Whereas, there is a great need for a quality research facility and medical treatment so that these children and their families may be equipped to face the challenges that a diagnosis of cancer or blood disorders can bring; and
Whereas, the nationally recognized Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Palmetto Richland Memorial Hospital has established itself as a model treatment facility; and
Whereas, the Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders recognizes the anxiety and stress a diagnosis of cancer or blood disorders can bring to a patient and family; and
Whereas, these issues can be addressed through a variety of counseling and support services provided by the Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders such as Camp Kemo, Lasting Impressions, and Hugs and Family Weekend, thereby providing hope which is the key ingredient to patients and families in the treatment process; and
Whereas, the unparalleled level of treatment and service provided by the physicians, nurses, and staff has resulted in a long term survival rate of eighty percent; and
Whereas, the Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders will be celebrating its twenty-year anniversary on January 16, 1999, in order to recognize the childhood cancer survivors as well as remembering the patients who succumbed to cancer; and
Whereas, the citizens of the State of South Carolina are blessed and indeed fortunate to have a treatment facility of the reputation and caliber found at the Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Palmetto Richland Memorial Hospital and wish to acknowledge and applaud their efforts and dedication to duty. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That January 16, 1999, be declared the Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders of Palmetto Richland Memorial Hospital Day in the State of South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Palmetto Richland Memorial Hospital.
