This Senate resolution supports National Hospital Week, scheduled for May 10-16, 2026, which honors hospitals and their workers while recognizing their vital role in American healthcare. The resolution acknowledges that approximately 6,100 hospitals nationwide serve patients daily, including critical access hospitals in rural areas, teaching hospitals, psychiatric facilities, and Veterans Affairs medical centers. It highlights that hospitals employed over 5.7 million people as of March 2026, treated more than 35.6 million admitted patients in 2025, and delivered over 3.6 million babies that same year. The resolution encourages Americans to observe the week with appropriate recognition and activities that demonstrate hospitals' importance to patients and communities. This is a ceremonial resolution that requires no funding and establishes no new programs, serving only to formally recognize and support the observance of National Hospital Week.
