This resolution expresses strong support for designating April 2026 as "Parkinson's Awareness Month" to highlight the significant impact of Parkinson's disease. It notes that the disease affects over 1,000,000 individuals in the United States, is the fastest-growing neurodegenerative disease, and is projected to affect 1,700,000 by 2045, incurring substantial costs. The resolution also acknowledges the profound impact on family caregivers. The House of Representatives supports the goals of this awareness month, including continued research to find better treatments and a cure. It recognizes individuals participating in vital clinical trials and commends the dedication of organizations, volunteers, and researchers working to improve the quality of life for those living with Parkinson's disease and their families.
