Summary
Designation of April 2025 as Parkinson's Awareness Month and support for research and care. The resolution highlights that Parkinson's affects over 1,000,000 Americans and nearly 90,000 are diagnosed each year, is the fastest‑growing and second most common neurodegenerative disease, and is the 15th leading cause of death. It lists symptoms including tremor, slowness, balance and speech problems, cognitive decline, and depression, and notes millions of family caregivers are affected. The resolution would back awareness goals, urge more research and community support services, recognize clinical trial participants, and commend organizations and volunteers working to improve quality of life.
