Substitute for House Resolution No. 333.
A resolution to declare May 6-12, 2018, as Women’s Lung Health Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Every 2 and a half minutes someone in the U.S. is told they have lung cancer. It is estimated that in 2018, 234,030 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer; and
Whereas, Every 7 minutes and thirty seconds, one woman in the U.S. loses her battle with lung cancer; and
Whereas, Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths for women and men in the U.S. It has one of the lowest five-year survival rates of all cancer types; and
Whereas, Advocacy and increased awareness will result in screening and early detection for people with lung cancer that will ultimately save lives; and
Whereas, LUNG FORCE is a national initiative led by the American Lung Association to defeat lung cancer; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 6-12, 2018, as Women’s Lung Health Week in the state of Michigan. We must help advance the conversation and make a difference in the fight against lung cancer. We encourage all residents of Michigan to learn more about lung cancer, risk factors, and screening options.
