Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim July 2026, as Fibroid Awareness Month in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (S 1539) requests Governor Hochul to designate July 2026 as "Fibroid Awareness Month" in New York. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally asks the Governor to recognize the health impact of uterine fibroids, particularly highlighting that African American women are three times more likely to develop them. The resolution cites annual healthcare costs and lost productivity related to fibroids to emphasize the need for greater public awareness. As a ceremonial resolution, it affects no specific group directly but aims to encourage broader education and research efforts around fibroid health.
