This designation is believed to empower advocates and support groups working to improve the lives of those with Turner Syndrome through advocacy and sharing information.

Summary

The bill seeks to raise awareness about Turner Syndrome, a chromosomal disorder that affects females, leading to a variety of medical and developmental challenges. This resolution highlights the importance of education, support, and resources for those affected by the condition, and aims to foster greater understanding and advocacy within the state.
