House Resolution No. by Representative Davis designates May 2025 as Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) Awareness Month in Louisiana. PWS is a rare genetic disorder affecting approximately 350,000 people globally, first identified in 1956 and confirmed as a genetic disorder in 1981. The condition presents various symptoms that evolve with age, including chronic hunger, growth hormone deficiency, and behavioral challenges. Symptoms are noticeable from birth and continue to develop throughout childhood and into adulthood, where individuals face a range of health and social issues.

The resolution encourages Louisianians to support initiatives aimed at raising awareness and providing support for the rare disease community, aligning with the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association's recognition of May as a month dedicated to awareness and celebration of individuals living with PWS.
