A Resolution recognizing the month of June 2026 as "Scleroderma Awareness Month" and June 29, 2026, as "World Scleroderma Day" in Pennsylvania.
This Pennsylvania House Resolution designates June 2026 as Scleroderma Awareness Month and June 29, 2026, as World Scleroderma Day within the state. The measure aims to increase public understanding of scleroderma, a rare autoimmune condition that causes skin hardening and can affect internal organs, by promoting awareness rather than implementing new policies or funding. The resolution does not change laws or allocate money but serves to highlight the disease and support ongoing research efforts at Pennsylvania universities.
