National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day

This Florida House Resolution (HR 8063) designates October 15, 2026, as "National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day" within the state. It aims to honor individuals and families experiencing pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or infant death by publicly acknowledging these losses and challenging societal silence around them. The resolution references existing national observances (like October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month) and Florida's Healthy Start program, which supports maternal and infant health. It does not create new policies or funding but serves as a ceremonial recognition to foster community support for grieving families.
