HRES 579 United States House · 119th Congress

Supporting the designation of July as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month.

HRES 579 is a non-binding resolution designating July as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month. It supports raising public awareness about uterine fibroids - a condition affecting an estimated 80% of women by age 50 - particularly highlighting the disproportionate impact on Black and Hispanic women (3x and 2x higher rates than White women). The resolution recognizes the need for more research, treatment options, and education on fibroid prevention and symptoms. It urges the President to issue a proclamation encouraging nationwide awareness activities during July. This is a symbolic measure with no new funding or legal requirements.
