Expressing support for the designation of November 9, 2021, as "National Microtia and Atresia Awareness Day".

This resolution supports the designation of National Microtia and Atresia Awareness Day. Microtia is a congenital condition affecting the outer ear; it is often accompanied by aural atresia (the absence or closure of the external ear canal resulting in hearing loss).

Bill 117 H.Res. 786, also known as the "National Microtia and Atresia Awareness Day" bill, aims to express support for designating November 9, 2021, as a day to raise awareness about microtia and atresia. Microtia is a condition where a person is born with a small or missing ear, while atresia is a condition where the ear canal is closed or absent.

The bill highlights the importance of educating the public about these conditions and the challenges faced by individuals living with microtia and atresia. It emphasizes the need for increased research, treatment options, and support for those affected by these conditions.

By designating November 9th as "National Microtia and Atresia Awareness Day," the bill aims to bring attention to these often overlooked conditions and promote understanding and acceptance within the community. It encourages individuals, organizations, and communities to participate in activities and events that raise awareness and support those living with microtia and atresia. Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 786 seeks to promote inclusivity, education, and support for individuals with microtia and atresia, and to foster a greater sense of understanding and compassion within society.
