Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026 as Kidney Month in the State of New York

This resolution memorializes Governor Hochul to designate March 2026 as Kidney Month in New York State. It recognizes chronic kidney disease (CKD) as a significant public health issue affecting over 2.2 million New Yorkers, with many unaware of their condition due to late-stage symptoms. The resolution aligns with existing National Kidney Month observances in March and World Kidney Day on March 12. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or programs but aims to raise awareness about CKD prevention and early detection.
