SRES 378 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution supporting the designation of the week of September 8 through September 12, 2025, as "Malnutrition Awareness Week".

This non-binding Senate resolution (SRES 378) supports designating the week of September 8-12, 2025, as "Malnutrition Awareness Week." It does not create new laws but formally recognizes malnutrition as a significant public health issue affecting vulnerable populations, including older adults, communities of color, and those experiencing food insecurity. The resolution encourages awareness efforts, highlights existing federal nutrition programs (like the Older Americans Act), and urges agencies to implement measures such as the Malnutrition Care Score for adults. It aims to promote prevention and treatment through public education, not policy changes.
