Designating the month of March 2026 as Chronic Kidney Disease Awareness Month

HR 181 designates March 2026 as Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Awareness Month in Alabama. The resolution recognizes that approximately 37 million Americans have CKD, with 90% undiagnosed, and aims to raise public awareness about CKD prevention, screening, and treatment access. It does not create new programs or funding but formally encourages community efforts to address CKD through official recognition. The bill passed committee and was adopted by the Alabama House of Representatives on February 26, 2026.
