RESOLUTION
Commending

Ricky Hudson does not have an MD or RN behind his name, but at his long-time
employer, Hughston Orthopedic Hospital in Columbus, Georgia, his impact on
patients and employees is immeasurable; and

Ricky has been part of the organization, serving as a plumbing foreman on the
building´s construction crew, and later that year, he joined the

throughout the facility as a man who can always be counted on to help with
virtually anything; and
WHEREAS,
among many others, his accomplishments include:
Building
a wheelchair ramp at the house of a colleague´s mother who had suffered a
stroke. He bought the supplies, built the ramp, and installed it without

problems, and with umbrella in hand, escorting colleagues into the building
during rainstorms; and

and compassion and he is dedicated to the success of our hospital and to making
a difference in the lives of anyone who comes through the doors of our hospital.
