A Resolution recognizing the month of February 2026 as "Blood Cancer Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania.
This resolution (HR 411) symbolically designates February 2026 as "Blood Cancer Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania. It does not create new laws, allocate funding, or directly affect specific groups - it is a formal recognition intended to raise public awareness about blood cancers (like leukemia and lymphoma), which impact residents across all ages and communities. The resolution encourages Pennsylvanians to educate themselves about blood cancers, support affected families, and advocate for better awareness and care. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal effect but aims to foster community solidarity around this health issue.
