To thank Dr. Dawn Bingham for her more than twenty 
years of service and contributions to women's health in the field of obstetrics 
and Gynecology in South Carolina and to wish her much success as she begins the 
next chapter in her medical career.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives have learned that Dr. Dawn Bingham, 
an obstetrician and gynecologist with Prisma Health in Columbia, will be 
leaving her post after more than twenty years of service to practice medicine 
at Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut - the second largest 
hospital in the United States - and to teach at Yale School of Medicine; and

Whereas, for over two 
decades Dr. Bingham has dedicated her life to women's health as a board-certified 
OB/GYN in both private practice and academic medicine. She holds significant 
roles in healthcare leadership including vice chair of the Campus Executive 
Committee at Prisma Health and legislative chair for the American College of 
Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) District IV, spearheading initiatives to 
improve women's healthcare accessibility and education; and

Whereas, she is an 
esteemed educator who has developed curricula and mentored medical 
professionals, enhancing medical training and advocacy. She also is known for 
integrating clinical expertise with robust advocacy to address public health 
challenges, offering innovative solutions in diverse healthcare environments; 
and

Whereas, in preparation 
for her career in medicine, Dr. Bingham earned a bachelor's degree in 
international studies with a minor in chemistry from the University of North 
Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1992. She received a master's degree from Rollins 
School of Public Health at Emory University in Atlanta in 1994, a Doctor of Medicine 
from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans in 2001, and 
completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the Greenville Hospital 
System Residency Program in Greenville between 2001 and 2005; and

Whereas, Dr. Bingham 
began her medical career in private practice providing healthcare to women in 
Spartanburg from 2005 to 2014. Dr. Bingham worked as a telemedicine provider 
and as an OB Hospitalist before joining Prisma University Specialty Clinics 
Department of OB/GYN at the University of South Carolina's Columbia School of 
Medicine in 2016. Along the way Dr. Bingham has garnered a myriad of honors and 
serves on numerous boards. Most recently she is a member of the National Ob-GynPAC 
Committee, an ACOG Fellow, and is a member of the Society for Academic 
Specialists in general obstetrics and gynecology. She recently served as ACOG 
South Carolina section chair, and as a member of the ACOG Lame Duck Lobbying 
Coalition; and

Whereas, in February 
Dr. Bingham received the Planned Parenthood South Atlantic Moxon Advocacy Award 
for exceptional leadership in women's healthcare, equality, and reproductive 
justice. She has been twice nominated for the prestigious Leonard H. Tow 
Humanism in Medicine Award, most recently in 2024, and in 2022, she was the 
recipient of both the Prisma Health Woman of Impact Award and the United Way of 
Piedmont Advocate of the Year Award; and

Whereas, grateful for 
the years spent focusing on and advocating for women's health in South 
Carolina, members of the South Carolina House will miss her presence and are 
excited to see how she continues to shape the future of women's health. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, thank 
Dr. Dawn Bingham for her more than twenty years of service and contributions to 
women's health in the field of obstetrics and gynecology in South Carolina and
