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

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim May 2025 as Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Awareness Month in New York State, highlighting the significance of this genetic disease that affects approximately 40,000 children and adults in the United States and over 105,000 worldwide. The resolution provides detailed context about CF, explaining that it is caused by a defective gene that produces abnormally thick, sticky mucus which clogs lungs and obstructs the pancreas, leading to life-threatening lung infections and digestive challenges. It emphasizes that over 10 million Americans are symptomless carriers of the CF gene, and the median predicted survival age for someone born with CF in 2019 is 48.4 years. The resolution also underscores the importance of early diagnosis through infant blood screening, notes that 56% of the CF population is over 18 years old, and recognizes the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's critical work in researching treatments and supporting patients. Additionally, it acknowledges the 21 world-class treatment centers in New York and calls for greater public awareness about this serious disease. The resolution ultimately requests that a copy be transmitted to Governor Hochul and seeks to pause legislative deliberations to highlight the importance of CF awareness.
