Supporting the designation of September 2024 as "National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month".

HRES 1508 is a resolution supporting the designation of September 2024 as "National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month." This symbolic resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to promote public awareness of ovarian cancer, which is the fifth-leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the United States. It highlights the disease's impact, including its high mortality rate and lack of early detection tests, to encourage broader education about symptoms and care. The resolution is directed at raising public and provider awareness, not at altering policy or services.
