Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2026, as Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to proclaim September 2026 as Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month in New York State. It aims to increase public awareness about cancers affecting women's reproductive systems (including cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancers), highlighting symptoms, prevention, and screening. The resolution cites statistics showing over 113,000 annual diagnoses and 33,000 deaths from these cancers in the U.S. It does not create new laws but encourages the Governor to issue the proclamation, aligning with National Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month.
