Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 2026, as Turner Syndrome Awareness Month in the State of New York

This resolution memorializes Governor Hochul to proclaim February 2026 as Turner Syndrome Awareness Month in New York State, aligning with National Turner Syndrome Awareness Month. It does not create new laws or policies but requests a symbolic state recognition to increase public awareness of Turner Syndrome, a genetic condition affecting approximately 5,000 women in New York. The resolution highlights the condition's prevalence (1 in 2,000 females), health impacts (including cardiovascular issues and educational challenges), and low diagnosis rates (only 3.5% receive adequate care). The goal is to encourage earlier detection and improved care through heightened public and professional awareness.
