Supporting the designation of July as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month.
This resolution supports designating July as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month to highlight a health condition affecting an estimated 80% of women by age 50. It specifically recognizes the disproportionate impact on Black and Hispanic women (with 3x and 2x higher incidence rates than White women) and calls for increased public awareness about symptoms and treatment options. The resolution encourages the President to issue a proclamation urging educational activities during July to address this common but often underdiagnosed condition.
