A Resolution recognizing the month of September 2026 as "ITP Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania.

This Pennsylvania House Resolution designates September 2026 as "ITP Awareness Month" to highlight Immune thrombocytopenia, a rare autoimmune condition that lowers platelet counts and increases bleeding risks. The bill aims to encourage research and support for the more than 50,000 people in the United States living with the disease, which affects women aged 30 to 60 more frequently than others. By officially recognizing the month, the resolution seeks to educate the public about the challenges of diagnosing and managing ITP, which often requires specialized medical treatments like blood transfusions or spleen removal. This measure does not change laws or allocate funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to raise visibility for patients and their families.
