Honoring the Black Angels for their dedicated service and contributions to the field of healthcare

This bill is a commemorative resolution that honors the "Black Angels," a group of Black nurses who worked at Seaview Hospital in Staten Island during the 1930s and 1940s. It recognizes their historic efforts to treat tuberculosis patients under difficult conditions, including racial discrimination and dangerous working environments, which contributed to early trials of the first tuberculosis cure. The resolution directs the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation to display copies of this acknowledgment at the former hospital site and to share them with the surviving nurses and their families.
