Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 1-7, 2026, as Hidradenitis Suppurativa Awareness Week in the State of New York

This is a symbolic resolution (not a bill) urging Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating June 1-7, 2026, as Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Awareness Week in New York. It does not create new laws or allocate funding, but formally recognizes HS - a chronic skin condition affecting an estimated 20,000 New Yorkers - as a public health concern requiring greater awareness. The resolution highlights the disease's impact (including delayed diagnosis and disproportionate effects on women and people of color) and aligns with national awareness efforts. Its purpose is to support community connection and advocacy for those living with HS, not to implement policy changes.
