Supporting the goals and ideals of "Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Awareness Day".

HRES 872 is a symbolic resolution supporting Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Awareness Day, recognizing CJD as a rare, fatal brain disorder affecting approximately 1-2 people per million annually in the U.S. The resolution does not create new programs or policies but formally acknowledges the disease's impact and the importance of raising public awareness about CJD's rapid progression and challenges for patients and families. It specifically encourages recognition of CJD Awareness Day on November 12, 2025, as a way to highlight this condition. The resolution is non-binding and focuses solely on awareness, not medical research or funding.
