The resolution designates November of each year as "C. Difficile Awareness Month" in the State of New Jersey. This initiative aims to raise awareness about Clostridioides Difficile (C. Difficile), a bacterium responsible for significant health issues, including inflammation of the colon and a high rate of infections in healthcare settings. The resolution highlights alarming statistics, such as the 500,000 annual diagnoses in the U.S., nearly 29,000 deaths within 30 days of diagnosis, and the substantial healthcare costs associated with C. Difficile infections. It emphasizes the importance of improved health practices and education for healthcare workers to mitigate the spread of this infection.

To promote awareness, the resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing November as C. Difficile Awareness Month and encourages public officials and citizens to engage in appropriate activities and programs throughout the month. The goal is to enhance understanding of C. Difficile infections and the methods of prevention, ultimately fostering a safer healthcare environment in New Jersey.
