Recognizing March 2024 as Chronic Kidney Disease Awareness Month in Alaska to raise awareness of the need for research, screening programs, and access to care for individuals who suffer from chronic kidney disease.

This Senate resolution designates March 2024 as Chronic Kidney Disease Awareness Month in Alaska to highlight the importance of research, screening, and healthcare access for those affected by the condition. The bill underscores that kidney disease disproportionately impacts communities of color and notes that many cases go undiagnosed until significant irreversible damage has occurred. By officially recognizing this month, the resolution aims to encourage public understanding of the disease's risks and the availability of simple diagnostic tests.
