Supporting the designation of the week of September 14, 2025, through September 20, 2025, as "Telehealth Awareness Week".
This resolution (HRES 686) is a symbolic, non-binding measure supporting the designation of September 14-20, 2025, as "Telehealth Awareness Week." It does not create new laws or policies but urges continued telehealth flexibilities beyond September 30, 2025, and promotes awareness of telehealth benefits. The resolution directly affects no specific group, as it serves only to raise public and stakeholder awareness about telehealth access. It references existing Medicare telehealth usage data (e.g., 6.7 million beneficiaries using telehealth in 2024) but does not alter any regulations or funding.
