This resolution, introduced by Representatives Hogan, Gillen, and Rowe, urges the United States Congress and the Department of Veterans Affairs to enhance access to hyperbaric oxygen therapy for veterans suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It acknowledges the sacrifices made by veterans and highlights the significant impact that TBI and PTSD have on their quality of life. The resolution points out the potential benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which can promote healing and reduce inflammation, but notes that access is currently limited due to barriers such as lack of awareness, availability, and insurance coverage.

The resolution also references ongoing advocacy efforts by various veterans' organizations to expand the availability of this therapy and mentions proposed legislation (H.R. 1336) by Congressman Gregory Murphy, which aims to establish a pilot program for hyperbaric oxygen therapy for veterans with TBI and PTSD. By urging Congress and the Department of Veterans Affairs to facilitate greater access to this treatment, the resolution seeks to improve health outcomes for veterans and support their reintegration into civilian life. Copies of the resolution will be sent to relevant officials, including the United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Pennsylvania's congressional delegation.
