HRES 1094 United States House · 118th Congress

Recognizing the significance of Sjögren's as a serious and systemic autoimmune disease and designating April as "Sjögren's Awareness Month".

HRES 1094 designates April as "Sjögren's Awareness Month" to recognize Sjögren's syndrome, a systemic autoimmune disease affecting an estimated 4 million Americans, causing symptoms like dry eyes, chronic fatigue, and pain. The resolution encourages the Department of Health and Human Services to improve diagnosis, support research, and increase awareness among healthcare providers and the public about this condition. It does not create new laws or funding but aims to foster greater understanding and support for individuals living with Sjögren's and their healthcare teams. This non-binding resolution focuses on raising awareness rather than mandating policy changes.
