Bell, Sherilyn P.; commend
This resolution (HR 961) is a ceremonial honor, not a policy bill. It formally commends Sherilyn P. Bell, a healthcare professional and advocate, for her career in clinical research, laboratory management, and her role in advancing the U.S. Lymphedema Treatment Act (which closed Medicare coverage gaps for compression garments). The resolution expresses the House's appreciation for her work with advocacy groups, patient support organizations, and her leadership in healthcare equity. It directs the House Clerk to provide Bell with a copy of the resolution but does not create new laws or affect anyone’s rights.
