Supporting the designation of October 7, 2023, as National Ostomy Awareness Day.

House Resolution 766 is a measure that officially recognizes October 7, 2023, as National Ostomy Awareness Day. The resolution aims to increase public understanding of ostomy surgery, a life-saving procedure used to treat conditions such as cancer, birth defects, and inflammatory bowel disease. By promoting awareness, the bill seeks to reduce the social stigma surrounding the procedure and highlight the importance of access to quality medical care for the hundreds of thousands of Americans living with an ostomy.
