Thanking and promoting the professions of perinatal nurses by encouraging participation in National Perinatal Nurses Week.

This resolution thanks perinatal nurses and encourages public participation in National Perinatal Nurses Week (October 10-17, 2023). It recognizes their role in providing prenatal care, labor/delivery support, and postpartum care to mothers and newborns. The resolution is symbolic - it does not create new laws, funding, or policies - but aims to raise awareness of perinatal nurses’ contributions amid a national nurse shortage and maternal health crisis. It specifically urges patients, hospitals, and policymakers to engage with the observance.
