A Resolution recognizing the month of September 2026 as "Alopecia Areata Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania.
This Pennsylvania House Resolution designates September 2026 as Alopecia Areata Awareness Month to promote public education about the autoimmune condition. The bill highlights that alopecia areata causes hair loss in up to seven million Americans and notes that while there is no known cure, hair often regrows because the follicles are not destroyed. It encourages residents of the Commonwealth to learn more about the disease to help reduce the stigma associated with hair loss.
