A resolution to recognize October 12-18, 2025, as Menopause Awareness Week.

This resolution, introduced by Senator Santana, formally recognizes October 12-18, 2025, as Menopause Awareness Week in Michigan. It aims to highlight the widespread impact of menopause and perimenopause on women in the state, citing that 51% of Michigan women experience these conditions, often without adequate diagnosis or treatment. The resolution does not create new policies or funding but seeks to raise public awareness about symptoms, health risks, and the need for better medical education on menopause care. It directly affects Michigan women aged 40-60 who experience menopause-related symptoms, including fatigue, hot flashes, and long-term health risks like heart disease. The resolution is a symbolic gesture to encourage greater attention to women's health needs during this life stage.
