HAD ON THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE. ONE FAMILY HAS TRULY LEFT THEIR MARK ON THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AND EACH DAY THEY CONTINUE TO DO SO. IT IS MY DISTINCT PRIVILEGE AND HUMBLE HONOR TO BESTOW UPON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ONE OF THE MOST. TODAY WAS MY LAST OFFICIAL ACT OF MAYOR. BY BESTOWING THE KEY TO THE CITY UPON MR. AND MRS. GILL AND I HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL PLAQUES FOR YOU. THIS AWARD MEANS THAT HARD WORK, DEDICATION TO THIS COMMUNITY HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO. THE ROOM FILLED WITH EMOTION. THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL HONOR FOR US. I GET A LITTLE EMOTIONAL THINKING ABOUT WHAT THE CITY HAS DONE FOR US, FOR THE DESERVING DOCTORS. BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE HAVE DEPENDED UPON MY PARENTS IN A MEDICAL CAPACITY. FRIENDS, AND YOUR FRIENDSHIP, FOR ME PERSONALLY, HAS TAKEN ME TO LEVELS THAT I’VE NEVER, YOU KNOW, THOUGHT OR IMAGINED. DOCTOR GILL IS A COMMON MAN WHEN HE’S BY YOUR SIDE. THE BULLETS ARE FLYING. YOU’LL TURN AROUND AND HE WILL BE THERE STILL. AND COLLEAGUES SHARING APPRECIATION FOR ME PERSONALLY. YOU KNOW, DOCTOR GILL DELIVERED MY DAUGHTER ALMOST 18 YEARS AGO. AND SO THIS IS KIND OF A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT. AND THAT JUST SPEAKS TO THE BREADTH AND THE DEPTH OF CONTRIBUTIONS. THE TWO SHARE A LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS. LEADING AS AN EXAMPLE FOR THEIR KIDS. THIS CITY HAS DONE SO MUCH BY OFFERING MY PARENTS, WHO CAME HERE WITH NOTHING. THEIR SON, RICKY GILL, WORKS FOR THE GILL FAMILY COMPANIES. MY FATHER WAS ONE OF THE FIRST INDIAN AMERICAN DOCTORS IN THIS ENTIRE COUNTY. LED THE MEDICAL SOCIETY HERE. MY MOTHER WAS ON THE LEADING EDGE OF ROBOTIC SURGERY AND STILL IS FOR WOMEN, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GET WOMEN BACK HOME OR BACK INTO THE WORKFORCE. I KNOW THE GAPS IN CARE THAT EXIST, AND I PLAN TO CHAMPION WOMEN’S HEALTH CARE IN THIS COMMUNITY. THE HEALTH OF A COMMUNITY IS JUDGED BY HOW IT TAKES CARE OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN. THE GILL OBGYN MEDICAL GROUP IS THE LARGEST OBGYN MEDICAL GROUP IN SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY.
