Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 1-7, 2025, as Hidradenitis Suppurativa Awareness Week in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to officially declare June 1-7, 2025, as Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Awareness Week in New York State. It directly affects New Yorkers living with HS - a chronic skin condition impacting an estimated 20,000 in the state - and supports advocacy groups like the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Coalition. The resolution serves as a symbolic gesture to increase public and medical awareness of HS, which often leads to delayed diagnosis and treatment. It does not create new laws or funding but encourages community connection and support for those affected.
