Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 6, 2026, as Lymphedema Day in the State of New York
This resolution requests Governor Hochul to designate March 6, 2026, as Lymphedema Day in New York State, aligning with the 11th Annual World Lymphedema Day. It recognizes lymphedema - a chronic condition causing swelling due to impaired lymphatic drainage - affecting millions, including cancer survivors. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funds; it is a symbolic gesture to raise awareness about the condition. The Legislature formally asks the Governor to issue this proclamation through the resolution's adoption.
