This resolution recognizes the week of May 11 through 17, 2025, as "National Hospital Week" in Pennsylvania, highlighting the critical role of hospitals and healthcare workers in the state. The resolution emphasizes the significant contributions of Pennsylvania's hospitals, noting that they provided nearly $10 billion in uncompensated care in fiscal year 2023, operated 56 trauma centers, delivered over 120,000 babies, and provided 1.5 million inpatient treatments and 5.5 million emergency department visits during the same period. It also underscores the economic impact of hospitals, which are the largest employer in 22 counties and among the top 10 employers in 35 additional counties, supporting over 273,000 direct jobs and generating approximately $186.5 billion in economic activity. The resolution acknowledges the hospitals' resilience during challenging times such as the pandemic, opioid emergency, and behavioral health crisis, and calls on the House of Representatives to thank frontline healthcare workers, urge residents to show appreciation, and encourage members to visit local hospitals to learn about their innovative care and services.
