House Resolution No. 87.
A resolution to declare May 7-13, 2017, as Women’s Lung Health Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Every five minutes, a woman in the U.S. is told she has lung cancer; and
Whereas, Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer of women in the U.S. The lung cancer death rate in women has almost doubled over the past 37 years; and
Whereas, Advocacy and increased awareness will result in more and better treatment for women with lung cancer and other lung diseases and will ultimately save lives; and
Whereas, LUNG FORCE is the national movement led by the American Lung Association, with the mission of making lung cancer history, uniting women to stand together with a collective strength and determination to lead the fight against lung cancer and for lung health; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 7-13, 2017, as Women’s Lung Health Week in the state of Michigan. We encourage all residents of Michigan to learn more about the detection and treatment of lung cancer.
