Supporting the designation of September 17, 2023, as "National Physician Suicide Awareness Day" to raise awareness of, and promote a national discussion about, physician suicide and to reduce the stigma of mental health issues.

This resolution officially recognizes September 17, 2023, as "National Physician Suicide Awareness Day" to address the high rates of mental health struggles within the medical profession. It encourages a national dialogue to reduce the stigma that often prevents doctors from seeking help for burnout, depression, and suicidal ideation.

For everyday citizens, this measure highlights the importance of supporting the well-being of healthcare providers to ensure a stable and healthy medical workforce. While the resolution does not create new laws or funding, it serves as a formal call to action for healthcare organizations and the public to prioritize the mental health of those who provide their care.
