Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 10, 2025, as FSGS Awareness Day in the State of New York

This resolution (Assembly Resolution 738) asks Governor Hochul to officially designate June 10, 2025, as "FSGS Awareness Day" in New York State. It does not create new laws or policies but seeks to raise public awareness about focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a rare kidney disease disproportionately affecting Black Americans due to genetic factors. The resolution highlights FSGS's severe health impacts, high healthcare costs, diagnostic challenges, and racial disparities in care. It directly affects New Yorkers living with FSGS, their families, and healthcare providers working to improve diagnosis and treatment access. The resolution was adopted by the Assembly on June 10, 2025, and now awaits the Governor's proclamation.
