Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 2025, as Hospice and Palliative Care Awareness Month in the State of New York
AI Summary
This resolution is a formal request to Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize November 2025 as Hospice and Palliative Care Awareness Month in New York State. The resolution highlights the critical importance of end-of-life care and the significant role of hospice and palliative care services, which provide comprehensive medical, emotional, and social support for patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families. It emphasizes that hospice care has helped millions of people spend their final months with dignity, surrounded by loved ones, and offers an interdisciplinary approach to treatment that focuses on pain management, symptom control, and holistic patient care. The resolution notes that in 2019, 1.61 million Medicare beneficiaries received hospice care nationwide and underscores the services' commitment to advance care planning, patient comfort, and supporting not just patients but also their caregivers and families. By memorializing this awareness month, the legislative body aims to draw attention to these essential healthcare services and honor their ongoing contributions to patient well-being.
