The resolution urges Congress to extend medical coverage for hyperbaric oxygenation therapy to veterans, highlighting the significant number of concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) that occur annually in the United States. With estimates of 1.6 million to 3.8 million concussions each year, the resolution emphasizes the need for effective treatment options for veterans suffering from TBIs and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), who are often reliant on symptom-reducing medications that can lead to dangerous dependencies.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is presented as a promising treatment that enhances the body's natural healing processes and has shown effectiveness in alleviating symptoms associated with TBIs. The resolution calls for Congress to recognize the importance of providing veterans with access to this therapy as part of their medical care, thereby improving their health outcomes and reducing the overall healthcare costs associated with brain injuries. The Secretary of State is tasked with forwarding copies of the resolution to each member of Congress to advocate for this cause.
