The resolution designates November of each year as "C. Difficile Awareness Month" in the State of New Jersey. It highlights the significant impact of Clostridioides Difficile (C. Difficile), a bacterium responsible for severe colon inflammation, which affects approximately 500,000 patients annually in the U.S. The resolution notes the alarming statistics associated with C. Difficile infections, including nearly 29,000 deaths each year and substantial healthcare costs, emphasizing the need for improved health practices and education among healthcare workers to mitigate the spread of this infection.

To promote awareness, the resolution urges citizens and healthcare professionals in New Jersey to engage in activities and programs throughout November. It also requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation to recognize the month, thereby fostering a greater understanding of C. Difficile infections and their prevention. The resolution aims to enhance public knowledge and encourage proactive measures to combat this healthcare-associated infection.
