A senate RESOLUTION

TO CELEBRATE AND CONGRATULATE TOD 
AUGSBURGER, RETIRING PRESIDENT AND CEO OF LEXINGTON HEALTH, TO EXPRESS DEEP 
APPRECIATION FOR HIS TWENTY-SIX YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED SERVICE, AND TO WISH HIM 
CONTINUED SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, Tod Augsburger has provided Lexington Health-formerly 
Lexington Medical Center-with more than twenty-six years of dedicated service, 
leadership, and vision, including his tenure as senior vice president, chief 
operating officer, and since 2015, president and chief executive officer; and

Whereas, under Mr. Augsburger's leadership, Lexington Health achieved 
major milestones, including its 2021 transition from a governmental entity to a 
private, not-for-profit healthcare system. He 

championed the 2023 partnership with the University of South Carolina 
to relocate the USC School of Nursing to West Columbia and oversaw successful 
expansion of facilities throughout the Midlands; and

Whereas, his stewardship also brought national recognition, with 
Lexington Health earning Magnet Hospital With Distinction status, ranking as U.S. 
News & World Report's #2 hospital in South Carolina, and being named Modern 
Healthcare's #1 family-friendly healthcare organization in America; and

Whereas, with Mr. Augsburger's retirement, he leaves behind a legacy 
of excellence and commitment to the Midlands community. The people of South 
Carolina, grateful for his consistent excellence, take great pleasure in 
wishing him well as he enters retirement and trust he will find much enjoyment 
in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, celebrate 
and congratulate Tod Augsburger, retiring president and CEO of Lexington 
Health, express deep appreciation for his twenty-six years of distinguished 
service, and wish him continued success and fulfillment in all his future 
endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
Tod Augsburger.
