Memorials, Recognition - Myositis Awareness Month -

This resolution (SJR 316) symbolically designates May 2025 as "Myositis Awareness Month" in Tennessee. It recognizes myositis - a rare, chronic autoimmune muscle disease affecting thousands - with a focus on improving public understanding and support for those impacted. The resolution, sponsored by Senator Campbell, aligns with The Myositis Association's nationwide observance efforts during May 2025. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but formally acknowledges the challenges faced by myositis patients, including diagnostic delays and health disparities.
