2025 is the first year that NMF and Perry have partnered with states to declare September as Perimenopause Awareness Month via proclamation. 

The Governors of Colorado, Georgia, Texas, Wyoming, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Arkansas and West Virginia have made gubernatorial proclamations and support seeking to raise awareness and declare September 2025 as Perimenopause Awareness Month. The states responded to this effort to ensure women are informed about the symptoms of perimenopause and can get access to care to meet their needs.
