HRES 739 United States House · 119th Congress

Supporting the designation of September 19, 2025, as "National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day", recognizing tens of thousands of families in the United States that have endured a stillbirth, and seizing the opportunity to keep other families from experiencing the same tragedy.

HRES 739 designates September 19, 2025, as "National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day" to recognize the over 21,000 stillbirths occurring annually in the U.S. and highlight racial disparities affecting Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic families. The resolution urges increased awareness, supports evidence-based prevention efforts, and calls for better data collection to address the crisis. It specifically references the 2024 Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act as context for federal resources. The bill has no funding or regulatory changes; it is a symbolic resolution encouraging public awareness and education.
