Bill > HR405

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, recognizes May 5, 2026, as "World Asthma Day" within the Commonwealth. It acknowledges that asthma is a chronic lung disease causing inflammation and narrowing of airways, leading to symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath, and that while there is no cure, proper management can significantly improve the quality of life for the estimated 1 million adults and 300,000 children in Pennsylvania who suffer from it. The resolution highlights that World Asthma Day, celebrated annually by health groups and advocates, aims to raise global awareness and improve asthma care by encouraging education, symptom management, and identification of triggers, and therefore, the House of Representatives encourages all Pennsylvanians to collaborate in helping those with asthma control their symptoms.
