Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution designates the week of September 20 through September 26, 2026, as "Telehealth Awareness Week" to recognize the growing role of telehealth in delivering healthcare across the United States. It highlights how telehealth has expanded access to care, particularly for people in rural areas, those facing healthcare workforce shortages, and Medicare beneficiaries, noting that telehealth use has grown dramatically since the COVID-19 pandemic and now includes a significant share of behavioral health visits. The resolution cites data showing high patient satisfaction with telehealth and its importance for federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics serving underserved populations. It does not create new programs or funding but instead expresses the Senate's support for raising public awareness, sharing resources with patients and providers, collecting data on telehealth's impact, and ensuring continued access to telehealth services for all communities. As a simple resolution, it carries symbolic and advocacy weight rather than the force of law.
