Memorials, Recognition - Karis Community Health, 10th anniversary -
HJR 544 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Karis Community Health for its 10th anniversary. It recognizes the Cleveland-based, faith-driven clinic for providing affordable dental, medical, and vision care to uninsured adults in Bradley County since 2015, including expanding to comprehensive primary care by 2021. The resolution formally commends the organization's mission of "grace"-centered, holistic health services and community partnerships, such as with the Cleveland Lion's Club for vision screenings. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or affect any legal rights or obligations.
