This Joint Resolution officially designates June of each year as "Cancer Survivor Month" in New Jersey, aiming to raise awareness about the challenges faced by individuals living with a history of cancer, defined as anyone from the moment of diagnosis through the rest of their life. The resolution highlights the growing number of cancer survivors, acknowledging the physical, emotional, and financial hardships they often endure long after treatment, as well as their increased risk for other health issues. By establishing this annual observance, the New Jersey Legislature seeks to foster greater public understanding and support for these survivors, encouraging appropriate activities and programs to mark the month.
