This Concurrent Resolution recognizes February 2022 as Self-care Awareness Month, highlighting self-care as a daily habit of healthy choices for overall wellness, including good hygiene, diet, exercise, and seeking professional healthcare when needed. It emphasizes that self-care, which involves the responsible use of over-the-counter medicines, supplements, and medical devices, is crucial for reducing healthcare costs in Hawaii and the nation, as demonstrated by significant savings generated by over-the-counter products. The resolution also points out that self-care empowers individuals, improves public health, and strengthens the healthcare system, and encourages consumers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to understand and promote its benefits.
