A resolution to declare February 28, 2026, as Rare Disease Day in the state of Michigan.
This resolution declares February 28, 2026, as Rare Disease Day in Michigan to recognize the impact of rare diseases on thousands of Michiganders. It symbolically acknowledges that rare diseases affect fewer than 200,000 Americans each and often involve challenges like delayed diagnoses and limited treatment access. The resolution has no policy or funding changes - it simply encourages public awareness through the state's participation in the National Organization for Rare Disorders' nationwide observance.
