A resolution supporting the designation of September 13, 2023, as National Sepsis Day.

SRES 340 is a Senate resolution supporting the designation of September 13, 2023, as National Sepsis Day. It aims to raise public awareness about sepsis - a serious condition causing over 270,000 deaths annually in the U.S. - and encourage early detection through education for patients, healthcare providers, and government agencies. The resolution highlights sepsis as a preventable cause of death when identified promptly, aligning with international efforts to reduce fatalities. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or funding but focuses on promoting awareness and best practices.
