Supporting the designation of September 19, 2026, as "National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day", recognizing tens of thousands of families in the United States that have endured a stillbirth, and seizing the opportunity to keep other families from experiencing the same tragedy.
This House resolution supports designating September 19, 2026, as National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day to honor families affected by stillbirth and promote efforts to prevent future losses. The bill highlights that over 20,000 pregnancies in the United States end in stillbirth annually, noting significant racial disparities in these outcomes. It references the Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act of 2024, which allocates federal resources for related research and prevention activities. Additionally, the resolution requests that the President issue a proclamation encouraging nationwide programs to increase public awareness and support evidence-based prevention strategies.
