Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 6-12, 2026, as Nurses Week in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution requests Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating May 6-12, 2026, as Nurses Week in New York State, aligning with National Nurses Week. It recognizes New York's 256,000+ registered nurses and their critical role in healthcare, including patient safety, primary care, and meeting the needs of an aging population. The resolution does not create new law but serves as a formal state-level acknowledgment of nurses' contributions. It directly addresses the Governor to take action, with no direct impact on policy or funding.
