The resolution proclaims May 2025 as Myositis Awareness Month in the state of Alaska, highlighting the impact of myositis, a group of rare, chronic autoimmune diseases that cause muscle inflammation and can lead to severe complications. It emphasizes that nearly one in ten Americans is affected by rare diseases, including myositis, which is often difficult to diagnose and treat, resulting in a reduced quality of life and shortened life expectancy for those affected. The resolution calls for increased research into the causes and treatments of various forms of myositis, as well as the need for healthcare providers with expertise in this area.

Additionally, the resolution recognizes The Myositis Association as a key organization in advocating for patients, focusing on education, research, and public awareness. It encourages Alaskans to come together during May 2025 to learn about myositis, support affected individuals and families, and promote greater awareness of these rare diseases within local communities.
