Designates October 18 of each year as "Postmenopause Day" in New Jersey to raise awareness about symptoms, health risks, and disease management options for postmenopausal women.

Aligns with World Menopause Awareness Day, established in 2009 by the International Menopause Society in collaboration with the World Health Organization.

Authorizes the Governor to annually issue a proclamation recognizing the day and calling upon public officials and residents to observe it with appropriate activities and programs.

Highlights that postmenopausal women face increased health risks including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and urinary tract infections, where early awareness can improve healthcare outcomes.

Notes that postmenopause typically occurs between a woman's late 40s and early 60s, with the average postmenopausal age being 51 years old.
