                        A RESOLUTION
           Honoring the Butler County General Health District on its
              One Hundredth Anniversary.
     WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the          1
133rd General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to extend special              2
recognition to the Butler County General Health District as it            3
celebrates its Centennial; and                                            4
     WHEREAS, Responding to the tragic effects of a worldwide             5
influenza pandemic and smallpox, the Ohio General Assembly enacted        6
a law in 1919 to create public health departments across the              7
state, leading to the formation of the Butler County General              8
Health District in 1920. Since its inception, the department has          9
provided services to countless county residents, and its                  10
initiatives to improve the area have been invaluable; and                 11
     WHEREAS, The Butler County General Health District has               12
achieved remarkable success in preventing the spread of diseases,         13
promoting wellness, protecting the environment, and achieving             14
health equity. Indeed, the agency has demonstrated a staunch              15
commitment to enhancing the health of the communities it serves,          16
and it is certain to continue advancing its standard of                   17
excellence; and                                                           18
     WHEREAS, It is through the presence of institutions such as          19
the Butler County General Health District that Ohioans have gained        20
a reputation for readily addressing the issues important to our           21
state’s welfare. The dedicated individuals who have been involved         22
with this venture over the years are certainly deserving of high          23
praise, for they have contributed to making a fundamentally               24
positive, lasting impact on countless citizens; therefore be it           25
