Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 2025, as Turner Syndrome Awareness Month in the State of New York

This Assembly Resolution requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 2025 as Turner Syndrome Awareness Month in New York State. It aims to increase public awareness about Turner Syndrome, a genetic condition affecting approximately 5,000 women in New York, which can cause serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and learning disabilities if undiagnosed. The resolution highlights that early detection is critical for better health outcomes, as many individuals with the condition go undiagnosed until age 15. This symbolic measure does not create new laws or funding but seeks to align with National Turner Syndrome Awareness Month to improve community education.
