Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.)                 A senate RESOLUTION   TO CELEBRATE AND CONGRATULATE TOD AUGSBURGER, RETIRING PRESIDENT AND CEO OF LEXINGTON HEALTH, TO EXPRESS DEEP APPRECIATION FOR HIS TWENTY-SIX YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED SERVICE, AND TO WISH HIM CONTINUED SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
  Whereas, Tod Augsburger has provided Lexington Health-formerly Lexington Medical Center-with more than twenty-six years of dedicated service, leadership, and vision, including his tenure as senior vice president, chief operating officer, and since 2015, president and chief executive officer;
and   Whereas, under Mr.
Augsburger's leadership, Lexington Health achieved major milestones, including its 2021 transition from a governmental entity to a private, not-for-profit healthcare system.
He championed the 2023 partnership with the University of South Carolina to relocate the USC School of Nursing to West Columbia and oversaw successful expansion of facilities throughout the Midlands;
and   Whereas, his stewardship also brought national recognition, with Lexington Health earning Magnet Hospital With Distinction status, ranking as U.S.
News & World Report's #2 hospital in South Carolina, and being named Modern Healthcare's #1 family-friendly healthcare organization in America;
and   Whereas, with Mr.
Augsburger's retirement, he leaves behind a legacy of excellence and commitment to the Midlands community.
The people of South Carolina, grateful for his consistent excellence, take great pleasure in wishing him well as he enters retirement and trust he will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead.
Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the Senate:
  That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, celebrate and congratulate Tod Augsburger, retiring president and CEO of Lexington Health, express deep appreciation for his twenty-six years of distinguished service, and wish him continued success and fulfillment in all his future endeavors.
  Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Tod Augsburger.
