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 resolution highlights the challenges associated with diagnosing lipedema, as it is frequently misidentified as lymphedema or obesity, and emphasizes the negative impact the condition can have on mental health and quality of life.

The resolution calls for increased public awareness of lipedema to improve diagnosis and treatment options for those affected. It also encourages ongoing research and support for individuals living with the condition, acknowledging the efforts of organizations like the Lipedema Foundation, which focuses on advancing understanding and treatment of lipedema through collaborative research.
