Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April, 2026, as Parkinson's Awareness Month in the State of New York

Senate Resolution J 1578 requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2026 as Parkinson's Awareness Month in New York, aiming to raise public awareness about Parkinson's disease, which affects over 65,000 New Yorkers. The resolution, adopted by the Senate on February 10, 2026, does not create new laws or funding but encourages community engagement and aligns with global initiatives like the 'Spark the Night' campaign. It was transmitted to the Governor and community partners to support those living with the disease and their caregivers.
