MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 13, 2025 09:49 AM
From: Representative James B. Struzzi, II
To: All House members
Subject: Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month Resolution
 
In the near future, I plan to introduce a resolution designating July 2025 as “Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month” in Pennsylvania.
 
Children can get arthritis just like adults. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the term used to describe arthritis in children. JIA is an auto-inflammatory disease of unknown origin and is the most common type of arthritis in children. Nearly 300,000 children, from infants to teenagers, have some form of arthritis. It is important to educate the public about the symptoms of this disease in an effort to increase the rate of successful treatment. Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month is an opportunity to learn about JIA and share resources and information with patients’ families and community members. 
 
Please join me in supporting this effort.
