Expressing support for the designation of September 2023 as "Peripheral Artery Disease Awareness Month".

This resolution (HRES 728) expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating September 2023 as "Peripheral Artery Disease Awareness Month." It does not create new laws or policies but encourages public awareness and educational activities about peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition affecting an estimated 20 million Americans, including higher-risk minority communities. The resolution highlights PAD's health risks - such as increased amputation and mortality rates - without imposing any requirements on individuals or institutions. As a symbolic gesture, it directly affects no one but aims to promote education on PAD prevention and early screening.
