Introduced

Summary

This resolution would urge the Department of Health and Human Services to provide continuous access to timely, up-to-date, and accurate health information for the American people. It stresses the importance of clear HHS communications for responding to outbreaks, antimicrobial resistance, the opioid overdose epidemic, and other public health threats.

Show full summary
  • Families and the general public would get faster, clearer notices about health risks and outbreaks to help people make safer choices.
  • Health care providers and public health officials would continue to rely on CDC channels like the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, published weekly since 1961, and the Health Alert Network, which in 2024 included alerts about avian influenza, dengue, and measles.
  • Food safety investigators and local health agencies would use HHS outbreak notices to coordinate investigations and responses for about 48 million reported foodborne illnesses each year.
