The resolution designates March of each year as "Fibromuscular Dysplasia Awareness Month" in New Jersey to enhance public understanding and awareness of Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD), a rare disease characterized by abnormal cell growth in arterial walls that can lead to serious complications such as stenosis, aneurysms, and dissections. Despite affecting a significant portion of the population, particularly women, FMD remains under-diagnosed and poorly understood, with no known cause or cure. The resolution highlights the challenges faced by individuals and families affected by FMD, including difficulties in obtaining accurate diagnoses and treatment options, as well as the need for greater awareness within the medical community.

Additionally, the resolution calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to engage in activities and programs that promote awareness of FMD during March. This initiative aligns with the efforts of the Fibromuscular Dysplasia Society of America (FMDSA), which has been active in raising awareness, supporting patients, and collaborating with researchers to improve understanding and treatment of the disease. The resolution aims to foster a collective effort to address the challenges posed by FMD and to promote research and education surrounding this condition.
