Chronic Kidney Disease Month

This bill designates March 2026 as Chronic Kidney Disease Awareness Month in South Carolina to highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for the condition. The resolution aims to increase public awareness about chronic kidney disease, which affects millions of Americans and often goes undiagnosed until it reaches advanced stages. By officially recognizing this month, the Senate intends to encourage community programs focused on education, screening, and access to care for those affected. The measure does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to draw attention to kidney health issues in the state.
