Recognizing the 75th anniversary of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and its critical role in advancing the practice of obstetrics and gynecology and the health and well-being of patients through excellence in clinical practice, education, advocacy, and research.
Whereas the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) was founded in 1951 and is the leading professional membership organization for obstetrician-gynecologists;
Whereas, as of its 75th anniversary, ACOG represents more than 62,000 health care professionals nationwide, who provide essential obstetric and gynecologic care to patients across the Nation;
Whereas ACOG members live in and provide obstetric and gynecologic care to millions of United States citizens in every congressional district;
Whereas, for 75 years, ACOG has supported members in their delivery of exceptional, respectful, science-based, and patient-centered care to patients across their lifespan and has served as a trusted source for accessible, reliable obstetric and gynecologic health information;
Whereas ACOG and its members have championed initiatives to improve maternal health, reduce maternal and infant mortality, protect the patient physician relationship, and protect access to health care for all individuals;
Whereas ACOG works to ensure a well-supported obstetrics and gynecology physician workforce, and to create a stronger, more sustainable practice environment for obstetrician-gynecologists and their patients no matter where they live; and
Whereas the 75th anniversary of ACOG offers an opportunity to recognize its historic contributions and reaffirm Congress’ commitment to advancing the health of patients: Now, therefore, be it
That the House of Representatives—
(1)
