Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Brain Tumor Awareness Month in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare May 2026 as Brain Tumor Awareness Month in New York State. The resolution highlights the importance of raising public awareness about brain tumors, noting that over 190,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed annually and that these tumors are a leading cause of cancer death in children. By designating this month for awareness, the legislation aims to encourage local, state, and national efforts to support patients and their families through education and care. The bill is a commemorative measure that does not change laws or allocate funding but serves to recognize the health issue and its impact on the community.
