HRES 877 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of "Prematurity Awareness Month".

HRES 877 is a non-binding resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating November as "Prematurity Awareness Month." It does not create new laws or allocate funds but calls on the public, interest groups, and communities to observe the month through events, promote awareness, and support preterm birth prevention programs. The resolution references statistics on preterm birth rates (over 370,000 babies born preterm in 2022) and health disparities, but its core action is symbolic advocacy. It directly affects the public by encouraging community engagement in awareness efforts during November. This resolution is procedural, focusing solely on recognition, not policy change.
