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. |
