DESIGNATING FEBRUARY 28, 2025, AS "RARE DISEASE DAY" IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

This House Concurrent Resolution designates February 28, 2025, as "Rare Disease Day" in Delaware to recognize the challenges faced by residents affected by rare diseases. It directly affects Delaware residents living with rare diseases (nearly 1 in 10 Americans have such conditions) and aligns with national observance efforts. The resolution serves as a symbolic recognition, not a policy change, to raise awareness and honor the work of patients, caregivers, and advocates. It follows Delaware's existing Rare Disease Advisory Council established by SB 55.
