Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025, as Urological Health Awareness Month in the State of New York
This resolution (K 696) asks Governor Hochul to officially designate September 2025 as "Urological Health Awareness Month" in New York State. It focuses on raising public awareness about prostate cancer, highlighting that it is the second leading cause of cancer death among men and disproportionately affects African American men. The resolution emphasizes the importance of early screening through PSA tests and digital exams, noting that early detection significantly improves survival rates. As a symbolic measure, it does not create new laws, allocate funds, or change health policies - it solely requests a gubernatorial proclamation to promote awareness.
