HR 471 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A Resolution recognizing the month of June 2024 as "Scleroderma Awareness Month" and June 29, 2024, as "World Scleroderma Day" in Pennsylvania.

This Pennsylvania resolution officially designates June 2024 as Scleroderma Awareness Month and June 29, 2024, as World Scleroderma Day within the state. The measure aims to increase public knowledge about scleroderma, a rare autoimmune condition that causes skin hardening and can affect internal organs like the heart and lungs. By highlighting these specific dates, the bill seeks to encourage awareness of the disease's symptoms and the ongoing research efforts conducted by local universities. This action does not change laws or funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to support individuals living with this condition.
