Rep. Calley offered the following resolution:

            House Resolution No. 333.

A resolution to declare May 6-12, 2018, as Women’s Lung Health Week in the state of Michigan.

            Whereas, Every 2 and a half minutes someone in the U.S. is told they have lung cancer. It is estimated that in 2018, 234,030 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer. Every 7 minutes and thirty seconds, one woman in the U.S. loses her battle with lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths for women and men in the U.S. It has one of the lowest five-year survival rates of all cancer types; and

            Whereas, Advocacy and increased awareness will result in screening and early detection for people with lung cancer that will ultimately save lives. Better treatment and greater awareness for early detection methods could ultimately safe lives; and

            Whereas, LUNG FORCE is a national initiative led by the American Lung Association to defeat lung cancer; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 6-12, 2018, as Women’s Lung Health Week in the state of Michigan.  We must help advance the conversation and make a difference in the fight against lung cancer. We encourage all residents of Michigan to learn more about lung cancer, risk factors, and screening options.
