                               RESOLUTION


 
      Recognizing the 75th anniversary of the American College of 
Obstetricians and Gynecologists and its critical role in advancing the 
practice of obstetrics and gynecology and the health and well-being of 
patients through excellence in clinical practice, education, advocacy, 
                             and research.

Whereas the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) was 
        founded in 1951 and is the leading professional membership organization 
        for obstetrician-gynecologists;
Whereas, as of its 75th anniversary, ACOG represents more than 62,000 health 
        care professionals nationwide, who provide essential obstetric and 
        gynecologic care to patients across the Nation;
Whereas ACOG members live in and provide obstetric and gynecologic care to 
        millions of United States citizens in every congressional district;
Whereas, for 75 years, ACOG has supported members in their delivery of 
        exceptional, respectful, science-based, and patient-centered care to 
        patients across their lifespan and has served as a trusted source for 
        accessible, reliable obstetric and gynecologic health information;
Whereas ACOG and its members have championed initiatives to improve maternal 
        health, reduce maternal and infant mortality, protect the patient 
        physician relationship, and protect access to health care for all 
        individuals;
Whereas ACOG works to ensure a well-supported obstetrics and gynecology 
        physician workforce, and to create a stronger, more sustainable practice 
        environment for obstetrician-gynecologists and their patients no matter 
        where they live; and
Whereas the 75th anniversary of ACOG offers an opportunity to recognize its 
        historic contributions and reaffirm Congress' commitment to advancing 
        the health of patients: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) celebrates the 75th anniversary of the founding of the 
        American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists;
            (2) commends its members for their dedication to preventing 
        maternal deaths and adverse health outcomes, reducing health 
        care costs, and improving the health of patients;
            (3) recognizes its service and leadership at the forefront 
        of obstetric and gynecologic care; and
            (4) commits to supporting the continued advancement of 
        obstetric and gynecological health, investing in women's health 
        care and research, and strengthening access to critical 
        obstetric and gynecological care for patients across the United 
        States.
