Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2025, as Lupus Awareness Month in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim May 2025 as Lupus Awareness Month in New York State, highlighting the significant impact of lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease that disproportionately affects women and minority populations. The resolution emphasizes that 105,400 New Yorkers and 1.5 million Americans suffer from lupus, a condition that can cause severe organ and tissue damage and potentially lead to death, and notes that medical research into lupus remains underfunded compared to other diseases of similar severity. The resolution aims to increase public awareness about lupus, support those affected by the disease, and encourage broader understanding of its challenges, particularly noting that many health professionals are not fully aware of lupus symptoms, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, the resolution calls attention to the work of Lupus Agencies in New York State, which provide education, support, and advocacy for individuals and families dealing with this devastating disease, and urges citizens to support research efforts and assist those living with lupus.
