Bill > HR404

This resolution, originating from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, officially designates April 2026 as "Limb Loss Awareness Month" within the state. It acknowledges that millions of Americans have experienced amputation or are at risk, with hundreds losing a limb daily due to conditions like vascular disease, trauma, and cancer. The resolution highlights that limb loss presents lifelong challenges, often leading to significant emotional, physical, and financial stress, and that the public is largely unaware of these difficulties. It also recognizes the high cost of prosthetic devices and the need for their frequent replacement. In light of these challenges, the resolution encourages all Pennsylvanians to observe this month by understanding the importance of limb loss awareness, celebrating the resilience of individuals with limb loss, appreciating the support of caregivers, and honoring combat amputees who have served the nation.
