Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2025, as Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month in the State of New York

This Assembly Resolution (K 171) requests Governor Hochul to formally designate March 2025 as "Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month" in New York State. It directly affects New Yorkers living with genetic blood disorders like hemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, and sickle cell anemia, which cause prolonged bleeding and require ongoing medical care. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about these conditions, encourage early diagnosis, and promote access to treatment - highlighting historical challenges like HIV/AIDS transmission from contaminated blood products. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but seeks to honor awareness efforts already observed nationally.
