Designates March of each year as "Fibromuscular Dysplasia Awareness Month."
AJR 168 designates March of each year as "Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) Awareness Month" in New Jersey. This symbolic resolution aims to increase public and medical community understanding of FMD, a rare vascular condition causing abnormal arterial growth that can lead to complications like hypertension, stroke, or kidney issues. The bill requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public awareness activities during March, as FMD often goes undiagnosed (with potential impacts on 4-5% of the population) and lacks a known cure or standardized treatment protocols. It does not create new funding or policies, but seeks to support existing efforts by the Fibromuscular Dysplasia Society of America.
