March is month! IDEA is honored to celebrate the individuals who face every day with bravery, resilience, and strength as they battle disorders.

✨We’re thrilled to announce that it’s officially Autoimmune Awareness Month in the United States! 🇺🇸

Last week, Representative Haley Stevens of Michigan's 11th District introduced House Resolution 225, officially declaring March as Autoimmune Awareness Month. This recognition from the federal government is a powerful step forward in raising awareness for the 50 million Americans living with autoimmune diseases.

Why does this matter? Because awareness drives understanding — and understanding fuels better research, treatments, and support. When autoimmune disease is recognized as a serious public health issue, we get closer to the answers and resources patients need.

A heartfelt thank you to Representative Stevens for championing this important cause! 🩷
