Expressing support for the designation of May 2026 as "Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Month".

This bill would designate May 2026 as Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Month to raise public and health care provider awareness of necrotizing fasciitis. It would ask federal, state, and local agencies, health care providers, and community organizations to promote awareness and public education on early signs and symptoms. The measure notes that prompt diagnosis and immediate treatment with antibiotics and surgery can improve outcomes. It would also express support for patients, survivors, families, and caregivers and highlight survivors' long-term physical and emotional challenges.
