This Senate resolution proposes that September 2026 be officially recognized as National Infant Mortality Awareness Month. The purpose of this designation is to increase public awareness about the issue of infant mortality—the death of infants before their first birthday—and to promote efforts aimed at reducing these deaths. While the full text of the resolution is not available, such designations typically encourage government agencies, healthcare providers, and community organizations to focus on education, prevention, and support programs during the designated month. Raising awareness can help highlight risk factors, improve access to prenatal and infant care, and mobilize resources to address disparities in infant health outcomes. The resolution itself does not create new laws or funding but serves as a formal acknowledgment of the importance of addressing infant mortality.
