Supporting the designation of the week of September 19 through September 25, 2021, as "Telehealth Awareness Week".

Bill 117 H.Res. 660, also known as "Supporting the designation of the week of September 19 through September 25, 2021, as 'Telehealth Awareness Week'", is a resolution introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this resolution is to raise awareness about the benefits and importance of telehealth services, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Telehealth refers to the use of technology, such as video conferencing and remote monitoring, to provide healthcare services to patients who are unable to visit a healthcare provider in person. This has become increasingly important during the pandemic, as many people have had to stay home to prevent the spread of the virus.

The resolution aims to highlight the ways in which telehealth has helped to improve access to healthcare for individuals, particularly those in rural or underserved areas. It also recognizes the role that telehealth has played in reducing healthcare costs and increasing convenience for patients. By designating the week of September 19 through September 25, 2021, as "Telehealth Awareness Week", the resolution seeks to encourage individuals, healthcare providers, and policymakers to continue supporting and expanding telehealth services. This includes advocating for policies that promote telehealth access and reimbursement, as well as educating the public about the benefits of telehealth. Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 660 is a non-partisan effort to raise awareness about the importance of telehealth and to promote its continued use and expansion in the United States.
