The House Resolution introduced on January 16, 2025, aims to recognize June 2025 as "Lipedema Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania. Lipedema is a chronic condition primarily affecting women, characterized by an abnormal accumulation of fat in the legs and arms, often exacerbated by hormonal changes. The condition can lead to various physical symptoms, including pain, swelling, and fatigue, and is frequently misdiagnosed as lymphedema or obesity. The resolution highlights the need for increased public awareness to improve diagnosis and treatment options, as well as the mental health challenges faced by those living with lipedema.

The resolution also acknowledges the efforts of the Lipedema Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing research on the condition's biology and treatment. It encourages ongoing research and support for individuals affected by lipedema, emphasizing the importance of understanding the condition better to enhance the quality of life for those impacted.
