Bill > LR117

This resolution congratulates Dr. Melvin Campbell on receiving the 2024 Copic Humanitarian Award, which is an annual honor presented by the Nebraska Medical Association and Copic Insurance to a physician who demonstrates meaningful work in improving healthcare in their local community. The resolution highlights Dr. Campbell's extensive medical career as a lifelong Nebraskan from Ainsworth, where he served as an internal medicine physician and was often the sole healthcare provider in his area. Dr. Campbell's professional achievements include service with the United States Public Health Service and the Indian Health Service, working at the Ainsworth Family Clinic from 1978 to 2024, holding leadership positions such as Chief of Staff at Brown County Hospital, and being one of few internists in the state to perform over 500 baby deliveries while also covering emergency room duties. The resolution notes that Dr. Campbell chose to donate the $10,000 award to the Brown County Hospital Auxiliary, further demonstrating his commitment to community healthcare. The Nebraska Legislature officially recognizes Dr. Campbell's significant contributions to medical service in the state and will send him a copy of this resolution as a formal acknowledgment of his distinguished career.
