BOARD RESOLUTION

Whereas,  a catastrophic illness is defined as a medical condition that necessitates  prolonged confinement in a medical facility and a lengthened recovery period to resume normal unassisted activities. 

Whereas, a catastrophic illness would require expenses because of the costs of extended hospitalization, medicines and physicians causing financial burden and disabling the person from working for a protracted time.
