CONCERNING THE DECLARATION OF FEBRUARY 28, 2026, : AS RARE DISEASE DAY.

AI Summary

This resolution declares February 28, 2026, as Rare Disease Day in Colorado to increase awareness about rare diseases, which are defined as medical conditions affecting fewer than 200,000 Americans and often present significant challenges for those affected, including difficulties in finding knowledgeable providers, accessing treatments, and managing high medical costs. The resolution acknowledges that one in ten people, including over 500,000 Coloradans and more than 30 million Americans, live with a rare disease, and highlights the particular vulnerability of children with these conditions. It also references the "zebra" metaphor used for rare diseases, explaining that just as medical professionals are taught to look for common ailments first, individuals with rare diseases are often not immediately recognized, leading to potential delays in diagnosis and care. The resolution aims to show solidarity with individuals living with rare diseases, recognize their courage and humanity, and encourage a moment of appreciation for the millions affected nationwide and in Colorado.
