Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2025, as Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Month in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of National Donate Life Month

AI Summary

This resolution seeks to urge Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim April 2025 as Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Month in New York State, in coordination with National Donate Life Month. The resolution highlights the critical need for organ and tissue donation, noting that currently over 104,000 people nationally are on organ transplant waiting lists, with approximately 8,000 waiting in New York State alone. It emphasizes that a single organ donor can potentially help up to 75 people and points out that while New York has nearly 20 million residents, only about 7.9 million are currently enrolled in the New York State Donate Life Registry. The resolution aims to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation, encourage more people to register as donors, and recognize the generosity of past donors and their families. By memorializing the governor to make this proclamation, the resolution seeks to educate the public about the urgent need for organ and tissue donations, highlight the life-saving potential of donation, and express gratitude to donors, medical professionals, researchers, and advocates who contribute to advancing transplantation efforts.
