MEMORANDUM

Posted: September 21, 2016 04:13 PM
From: Representative Matthew E. Baker
To: All House members
Subject: COPD Awareness Month - November 2016
 

In the near future, I will be introducing a resolution designating the month of November 2016 as “COPD Awareness Month” in Pennsylvania.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects over 24 million individuals in the United States, killing more than 140,000 Americans every year. It affects an estimated 714,000 residents of Pennsylvania and is the 4th leading cause of death in the Commonwealth.

Please consider joining me in this resolution to promote greater public awareness, enhance education, erase the stigma and increase early diagnosis of this disease in order to save lives and reduce health costs in this Commonwealth.



Introduced as HR1055
