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

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize March 2026 as Kidney Disease Awareness Month in the state. It aims to raise public awareness about chronic kidney disease, which affects millions of people and often goes undiagnosed until it reaches advanced stages. The resolution highlights the importance of early detection through laboratory tests and encourages participation in organ donation registries. By designating this month for awareness, the bill seeks to educate New Yorkers about kidney disease symptoms, risk factors, and the need for timely medical intervention.
