Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 30, 2025, as Doctors' Day in the State of New York
AI Summary
This resolution requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 30, 2025, as Doctors' Day in New York State, commemorating the contributions of physicians and recognizing the historical significance of the date. The resolution traces the origins of Doctors' Day back to 1842, when Dr. Crawford Long first used ether as a surgical anesthetic, and highlights how the day was first officially observed in 1933 in Georgia. It notes that the United States Congress officially designated March 30th as National Doctors' Day in 1990, and that in 2017, the observance was expanded to a full week. The resolution emphasizes the critical role doctors play in improving community health and quality of life, and acknowledges their dedication, expertise, and compassionate commitment to patient care. As a formal legislative action, the resolution will be transmitted to Governor Hochul and serves to publicly recognize and honor the medical profession's important work in New York State.
