Bill > H8039

This resolution officially designates June 9, 2026, as "FSGS Awareness Day" in Florida, aiming to increase public understanding of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a serious kidney disease characterized by scarring that often leads to kidney failure, dialysis, or transplantation, and can even recur in transplanted kidneys. The resolution highlights Florida's high rates of chronic kidney disease and the significant impact FSGS has, noting that it is a leading cause of kidney failure, particularly among rare kidney diseases, and emphasizes the need for better diagnosis, support for patients and families, and the promotion of research for future treatments.
