This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim May 11, 2026, as Women's Checkup Day in the State of New York, aligning with the national observance. The resolution highlights the importance of regular medical checkups and doctor's visits for women to promote better health, acknowledge historical disparities in women's healthcare access due to social, economic, and biological factors, and address the underrepresentation of women in research studies. It emphasizes that Women's Checkup Day encourages women to take control of their health, identify potential issues early, and adopt healthy lifestyles, ultimately benefiting individuals, families, communities, and potentially reducing healthcare costs through preventative action. The resolution also notes that a copy of this proclamation will be sent to the Governor.
