Expressing support for the designation of November 9, 2023, as "National Microtia and Atresia Awareness Day".

House Resolution 867 expresses official support for designating November 9, 2023, as "National Microtia and Atresia Awareness Day." The resolution aims to increase public understanding of these congenital conditions, which involve the underdevelopment of the outer ear and the absence of the ear canal, often leading to significant hearing loss. While the resolution does not create new laws or provide funding, it serves to promote education, encourage early diagnosis, and show support for the thousands of children and adults living with these conditions.
