Senate Resolution No. 109 designates March 2025 as Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month in Texas, highlighting the significance of raising awareness about hemophilia and other hereditary bleeding disorders that affect approximately three million Americans. These disorders result from the body's inability to form proper blood clots due to defects in platelets, clotting proteins, or blood vessels, leading to excessive bleeding from minor injuries, easy bruising, and other serious health issues. The resolution emphasizes the importance of this observance, which has evolved since its federal designation in 1986, to include a broader range of bleeding disorders and aims to promote support for research and resources that can improve the lives of those affected.

The Senate encourages all Texans to educate themselves about bleeding disorders during this awareness month, recognizing the life-changing and potentially fatal nature of these conditions. By fostering understanding and support, the resolution seeks to enhance the outlook for individuals living with bleeding disorders and to advocate for continued advancements in treatment and care.
