(Harrisburg, PA) The Pennsylvania House adopted State Rep. Rob Matzie’s resolution last week in Harrisburg that designates April of 2026 as “Limb Loss Awareness Month” in Pennsylvania. According to Matzie, he introduced House Resolution 404, which the House adopted by an overwhelming bipartisan majority on April 15th, to foster greater awareness about the multiple challenges faced by people who have lost a limb and those with a limb that is anatomically different in size, shape or structure compared to “typical” limbs. Matzie stated that he also introduced this resolution to help people understand that the main cause of limb loss is preventable.
