Relative to Urological Health Month
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
HOUSE OR SENATE RESOLUTIONS DO NOT CONTAIN A DIGEST
WHEREAS, Tens of millions of Americans are affected by urological
diseases and conditions, including urinary incontinence, overactive
bladder, underactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, nocturia,
urinary tract infections, bladder cancer, urotrauma, and neurogenic
bladder; and
WHEREAS, Urological diseases and conditions have significant
impact on health and quality of life--contributing to depression,
social isolation, falls, sexual dysfunction, loss of self-esteem,
hospitalizations, nursing home admissions, and even death; and
WHEREAS, Medical and behavioral research to better understand and
maintain bladder health and treat bladder diseases is critically
needed, yet poorly recognized; and
WHEREAS, Bladder problems are highly stigmatized, and open
dialogue generated by Urological Health Month can reduce stigma and
empower providers and patients to have much needed conversations
about bladder health; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, That the Senate
designates the month of November 2016 as Urological Health Month;
and be it further
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
