A resolution expressing support for the designation of the month of April 2025 as "Parkinson's Awareness Month".

This resolution would designate April 2025 as Parkinson's Awareness Month to raise public attention and support research and care. Parkinson's disease affects over 1 million Americans with nearly 90,000 new diagnoses each year. It is the fastest-growing and second most common neurodegenerative disease and is projected to nearly double by 2037. Parkinson's is linked to genetic and environmental factors and costs at least $80 billion annually in the United States. The resolution supports awareness goals, continued research for better treatments and a cure, recognizes clinical trial participants, and commends organizations, volunteers, and caregivers.
