Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim July 2025, as Fibroid Awareness Month in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (J 81) requests Governor Hochul to designate July 2025 as "Fibroid Awareness Month" in New York. It aims to highlight uterine fibroids - benign tumors disproportionately affecting Black women - and their significant health and economic impacts (including $3.6 billion annually in medical costs). The resolution does not create new laws but seeks to promote public awareness through community education and research efforts. It directly addresses women’s health disparities and the financial burden of fibroid-related care.
