A senate RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE APRIL 2026 AS "Foot health Awareness
MONTH" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, the human foot
is a complex structure containing twenty-six bones and serves as the foundation
for the rest of the body's mobility and overall health; and
Whereas, approximately twenty
percent of Americans experience at least one foot problem annually, and many
systemic diseases, such as diabetes and peripheral arterial disease, often
manifest first in the feet; and
Whereas, untreated foot
conditions can lead to further complications in the ankles, knees, hips, and
lower back, affecting quality of life for many South Carolinians; and
Whereas, National Foot
Health Awareness Month, established by the American Podiatric Medical
Association, seeks to educate the public on simple, preventative steps such as
daily inspections, proper footwear, and regular check-ups to avoid serious
injury and illness; and
Whereas, it is the
desire of the South Carolina General Assembly to encourage its citizens to
prioritize their health and well-being from the ground up.  Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution,
recognize April 2026 as "Foot Health Awareness Month" in South Carolina.
Be it further resolved
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the South Carolina Podiatric
Medical Association.
