Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 2025, as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution seeks to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 2025 as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month in New York State, highlighting the critical importance of raising public awareness about this serious health issue. The resolution emphasizes that cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, with nearly 14,000 women diagnosed annually in the United States and approximately 4,000 dying from the disease, including 840 new cases and 180 deaths in New York in 2024. It notes significant disparities in cervical cancer rates, with Hispanic women having the highest rate and Black women being more likely to die from the disease. The resolution underscores that cervical cancer is almost entirely treatable or preventable through routine screening, which the American Cancer Society recommends beginning at age 25, and that late-stage diagnosis often results from poor access to preventative services. By calling for this awareness month, the resolution aims to increase public understanding of the disease's risk factors, promote preventative measures, and honor those affected by cervical cancer across New York State.
