HR 14 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day; designate February 14, 2026 as.

This resolution designates February 14, 2026, as Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) Awareness Day in Mississippi. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but serves as a symbolic recognition to raise public awareness about CHDs, which affect about 1 in 100 babies and require lifelong care. The resolution highlights the importance of early detection, ongoing medical support, and reducing stigma for those living with CHDs. This is a procedural resolution, not a policy change, and its primary effect is to encourage community awareness efforts.
