A Resolution recognizing the month of September 2025 as "Infant Mortality Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania.
This resolution recognizes September 2025 as "Infant Mortality Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally acknowledges the state's infant mortality rate (5.6 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2023) and disparities, particularly for Black infants and mothers with limited prenatal care. The resolution urges Pennsylvanians to raise awareness about infant mortality and support efforts to reduce infant deaths and health disparities. It is a symbolic measure with no direct policy changes or obligations for government action.
