A resolution to declare July 21–25, 2025, as Fibroids Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.

Michigan House Resolution 149 (HR0149) is a resolution that declares July 21–25, 2025, as Fibroids Awareness Week in the state of Michigan. This resolution aims to raise public awareness about uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous tumors of the uterus affecting a significant number of women, particularly Black women. By designating this week, the state seeks to educate the public on the prevalence, symptoms, and treatment options for fibroids, and to encourage women to seek medical advice and support.

The resolution was well-received by health advocates and organizations focused on women's health. They praised the Michigan Legislature for acknowledging the impact of uterine fibroids and for taking steps to increase public awareness. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services highlighted the importance of such initiatives in addressing health disparities and promoting early diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, Governor Gretchen Whitmer's proclamation of July 2026 as Fibroid Awareness Month further underscored the state's commitment to this cause.

While the resolution was generally supported, some critics argued that merely declaring an awareness week is insufficient without accompanying funding for research and treatment programs. They emphasized the need for tangible actions, such as increased funding for medical research on fibroids and improved access to healthcare services for affected women. Others pointed out that awareness campaigns should be coupled with policy changes to address the underlying health disparities that contribute to the prevalence of fibroids among Black women.
