Senator Patton
| To recognize November 2012 as Personal Health Care | 1 |
| Month. | 2 |
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING):
| WHEREAS, It is known that preventing disease can often be | 3 |
| less costly than treating it after it occurs, and that early | 4 |
| diagnosis combined with therapeutic interventions that are | 5 |
| customized specifically to an individual patient can further | 6 |
| reduce costs, shorten recovery time, and minimize human suffering; | 7 |
| and | 8 |
| WHEREAS, It is known that many of the chronic diseases that | 9 |
| are consuming increasingly large portions of our nation's health | 10 |
| care expenses can be prevented or more effectively managed when | 11 |
| responsible, motivated patients, empowered by knowledge and guided | 12 |
| by their physicians, take personal action by making healthier | 13 |
| lifestyle choices for themselves and their families; and | 14 |
| WHEREAS, It is also becoming increasingly clear that | 15 |
| compiling and understanding the details of an individual's family | 16 |
| health history can be a critical part of devising an informed and | 17 |
| focused preventive plan of action to address the health issues | 18 |
| that a person is likely to encounter over time; and | 19 |
| WHEREAS, With the deeper understanding that each individual's | 20 |
| unique biology revealed by a focused and personalized approach to | 21 |
| health care may one day help us all identify the targeted wellness | 22 |
| activities that will help us live longer and healthier lives; now | 23 |
| therefore be it | 24 |
| RESOLVED, That November 2012 is designated Personal Health | 25 |
| Care Month; and be it further | 26 |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly | 27 |
| authenticated copies of this resolution to the Governor and to the | 28 |
| news media of Ohio. | 29 |
