Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 6-12, 2026, as Physician Assistant Week in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize October 6-12, 2026, as Physician Assistant Week in New York. The resolution highlights the important work physician assistants do in healthcare, such as examining patients, diagnosing illnesses, and prescribing medicine. It is a symbolic measure intended to honor the contributions of over 190,000 physician assistants in the United States and raise awareness of their role in the medical field. The bill does not change any laws or create new programs, but instead serves to publicly acknowledge the profession during a designated week.
