FSGS Awareness Day

HR 8039 is a ceremonial resolution designating June 9, 2026, as "FSGS Awareness Day" in Florida. It recognizes focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a rare kidney disease causing scarring that often leads to kidney failure, and highlights its impact on Floridians - particularly men over 45 - with statistics showing 50% of patients require dialysis or transplant within 5-10 years. The resolution has no policy or funding changes; it solely aims to raise public awareness and support for FSGS patients and families through symbolic recognition. As a procedural resolution, it does not directly affect legislation or healthcare access.
