The bill, S. 609, is a Senate Resolution recognizing and honoring Jim Roberts for his significant contributions in founding the Good Shepherd Medical Clinic, as well as commemorating the clinic's thirtieth anniversary. The resolution highlights Mr. Roberts' background, including his education at West Virginia University, his service in the United States Air Force during the Korean War, and his career in marketing and advertising. It details his initiative to establish the clinic in response to the critical need for non-emergency healthcare for residents who did not qualify for Medicare or Medicaid and could not afford private insurance.

The resolution acknowledges the collaborative efforts of community members who supported the clinic's establishment, including volunteers and local leaders who contributed their time and resources. It emphasizes the impact of the Good Shepherd Medical Clinic on the Laurens County community since its opening on September 8, 1994, and expresses gratitude for the dedication shown by Mr. Roberts and the clinic's staff and volunteers in serving the people of South Carolina. The resolution concludes with a provision to present a copy of the resolution to Jim Roberts.
