# Plain Language Summary: National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month Resolution

This resolution designates September 2021 as "National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month" in the United States. It's a symbolic measure that officially recognizes the month to draw attention to ovarian cancer and encourage awareness about the disease.

What this means in practical terms is that the federal government is using its platform to highlight ovarian cancer during September. This type of designation typically encourages health organizations, hospitals, and advocacy groups to increase their educational efforts and outreach during that month. It helps raise public awareness about the disease, its symptoms, and the importance of early detection and screening.

The resolution doesn't create new funding, programs, or requirements for anyone. Instead, it's a statement of support that gives official recognition to ovarian cancer awareness efforts. Organizations working on ovarian cancer prevention and treatment can use this designation to amplify their messaging and potentially attract more attention to their campaigns. For people affected by ovarian cancer—patients, survivors, and their families—it represents acknowledgment from Congress that this disease matters and deserves national attention.
