Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025, as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in the State of New York

This Assembly Resolution (No. 790) requests Governor Hochul to proclaim September 2025 as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in New York. It highlights prostate cancer's significant impact - nearly 15,500 New Yorkers diagnosed annually, with higher risks for African American men - and emphasizes the need for early detection and equitable access to care. The resolution aims to raise public awareness through symbolic actions like wearing light blue ribbons and encourages community efforts to reduce health disparities. As a symbolic resolution (not a law), it directs the Governor to issue the proclamation but does not enact new policies.
