The resolution celebrates the 40th anniversary of Mulberry Medical Associates, a medical practice founded by Dr. John Jernigan in 1984, which has significantly contributed to the Montgomery area's health care landscape. Over the years, the practice has expanded with the addition of several physicians, including Dr. Joel McCloud, Dr. Norman Taylor, Dr. Leon Casals, and Dr. Mary Casals, ultimately becoming the largest minority medical group in Alabama. Mulberry Medical Associates has played a vital role in public health by serving a diverse patient population and has also been instrumental in training over 400 health care providers, enhancing the local health care workforce.

In recognition of their exceptional service and commitment to the community, the resolution declares a special day, "Mulberry Medical Associates Day," in the State of Alabama. This acknowledgment honors the dedicated efforts of the physicians at Mulberry Medical Associates, who work tirelessly in various health care facilities to ensure the well-being of their patients, including those from underserved communities.
