Bill > A10048

This bill establishes a uterine fibroids awareness and education program within the New York State Department of Health. The program will provide public education on the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of uterine fibroids, with a focus on the elevated risk for minority women. The department will produce and distribute educational materials, make information available on its website, and periodically review and update the materials. The department will also report to the state government every three years on the program's implementation and any recommendations for further action. Funding for the program is contingent on appropriations made for this purpose.
