This resolution urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate March 30, 2026, as Doctors' Day in New York State, aligning with the national observance. The resolution highlights the importance of recognizing physicians for their vital contributions to the health and well-being of New Yorkers in both large and small communities. It also provides historical context for Doctors' Day, explaining that the date commemorates the anniversary of the first use of general anesthesia in surgery on March 30, 1842, by Dr. Crawford Long, and that the observance was formalized nationally in 1990. The resolution emphasizes that this day serves as an opportunity for the public to express gratitude for the dedication and expertise of doctors.
