Supporting the designation of May 2025 as "National Myositis Awareness Month".

HRES 277 is a non-binding resolution designating May 2025 as "National Myositis Awareness Month" to raise public awareness about myositis, a rare autoimmune muscle disease affecting millions of Americans. It specifically highlights the challenges of diagnosis, delayed treatment, and health disparities faced by patients - particularly women and people of color - with conditions like dermatomyositis and inclusion body myositis. The resolution encourages Americans to learn about myositis and support those affected, without creating new laws or funding. As a symbolic measure, it does not change policy or provide resources but aims to foster greater public understanding of this underrecognized condition.
