The details

Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution names September 14 through 20, 2025, as "Telehealth Awareness Week". Telehealth means getting care from a doctor or nurse who is somewhere else, such as by video call. The Senate passed it on September 19, 2025. It does not change any law or spend any money. The resolution notes that 1 in 4 Medicare users had at least one telehealth visit in 2024. It warns that a gap in Medicare coverage for telehealth could make care harder to get. It also urges more awareness of telehealth, more study of its effects, and steady access for all communities. These are requests, not rules anyone must follow.
