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.
