A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

To recognize November 2012 as Personal Health Care Month.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE SENATE CONCURRING):

       WHEREAS, It is known that preventing disease can often be less costly than treating it after it occurs, and that early diagnosis combined with therapeutic interventions that are customized specifically to an individual patient can further reduce costs, shorten recovery time, and minimize human suffering; and

        WHEREAS, It is known that many of the chronic diseases that are consuming increasingly large portions of our nation's health care expenses can be prevented or more effectively managed when responsible, motivated patients, empowered by knowledge and guided by their physicians, take personal action by making healthier lifestyle choices for themselves and their families; and

       WHEREAS, It is also becoming increasingly clear that compiling and understanding the details of an individual's family health history can be a critical part of devising an informed and focused preventive plan of action to address the health issues that a person is likely to encounter over time; and

       WHEREAS, With the deeper understanding that each individual's unique biology revealed by a focused and personalized approach to health care may one day help us all identify the targeted wellness activities that will help us live longer and healthier lives; now therefore be it

       RESOLVED, That November 2012 is designated Personal Health Care Month; and be it further

       RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the Governor and to the news media of Ohio.
