Designates October 2025 as "Menopause Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania

Recognizes menopause typically occurs between ages 45-55, following 8-10 years of perimenopause transition

Notes women lose up to 25% of bone mass between menopause and age 60 due to low estrogen, increasing risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease

Highlights that nearly half of women under 40 report being uninformed about menopause, and many OB-GYN residency programs lack designated menopause curriculum

Aims to promote education about symptoms, treatments, and health risks for women, medical professionals, and the general public
