Supporting the designation of March 2022 as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

HRES 958 is a non-binding House resolution designating March 2022 as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. It supports the goals of raising public awareness about colorectal cancer prevention and screening, encourages Americans to participate in educational activities during March, and aligns with the broader objective of reducing cancer deaths through the Cancer Moonshot initiative. The resolution highlights statistics on colorectal cancer incidence and mortality (e.g., 52,580 estimated deaths in 2022) and emphasizes the importance of early screening, but does not create new laws or alter existing policies. It directly affects the general public by promoting awareness, with no specific groups or entities mandated to take action.
