Supporting the designation of "Telehealth Awareness Week".

Bill 117 H.Res. 1352, also known as the "Telehealth Awareness Week" bill, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of supporting the designation of a week dedicated to raising awareness about telehealth services.

Telehealth refers to the use of digital communication technologies, such as video conferencing and remote monitoring, to provide healthcare services to patients who are unable to visit a healthcare provider in person. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals living in rural or underserved areas, as well as those with mobility issues or chronic conditions.

The bill recognizes the importance of telehealth in increasing access to healthcare services, improving health outcomes, and reducing healthcare costs. By designating a specific week to raise awareness about telehealth, the bill aims to educate the public about the benefits of telehealth services and encourage the adoption of telehealth technologies by healthcare providers. Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 1352 seeks to promote the use of telehealth as a valuable tool in expanding access to healthcare services and improving the overall health and well-being of individuals across the United States.
