A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the people of the United States should have continuous access to timely, up-to-date, and accurate health information.
This non-binding Senate resolution (SRES 37) expresses the Senate's view that U.S. citizens should maintain continuous access to health information provided by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It references existing HHS communications like the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and CDC health alerts (e.g., for avian influenza or measles) as critical tools for public health. The resolution does not create new laws, funding, or requirements - it simply states a principle supporting current HHS information-sharing practices. It directly affects the public by affirming their right to rely on these established federal health communications.
