The resolution introduced on March 20, 2025, designates March as Kidney Disease Awareness Month in West Virginia. It highlights the critical role of healthy kidneys in overall health, including waste removal, blood pressure regulation, and bone health. The resolution points out that kidney diseases are a leading cause of death in the U.S., with over 37 million adults affected by chronic kidney disease, many of whom are unaware of their condition. It also notes that one in three adults is at risk, particularly those with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, or a family history of kidney disease, with increased risks for Black, Hispanic, or Latino individuals.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of awareness and prevention, stating that kidney diseases can be delayed or prevented through proper care and lifestyle choices. It encourages West Virginians to maintain kidney health by adopting healthy habits and consulting healthcare providers about risk factors. The Senate resolves to officially recognize March as Kidney Disease Awareness Month and directs the Clerk to send a copy of the resolution to the National Kidney Foundation.
