Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 10, 2026, as FSGS Awareness Day in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially designate June 10, 2026, as FSGS Awareness Day to highlight a rare kidney disease. The legislation focuses on raising public understanding of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, which causes kidney scarring and can lead to failure requiring dialysis or transplants. By establishing this specific date, the bill aims to encourage early detection and support for patients, particularly noting that the condition disproportionately affects African American communities. The resolution is a symbolic gesture intended to promote awareness rather than change laws or funding.
