Bill > J01498

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate February 19, 2026, as Cholangiocarcinoma Awareness Day in New York State. Cholangiocarcinoma, also known as bile duct cancer, is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that develops in the bile ducts, which are small tubes that carry digestive fluids in and around the liver and gallbladder. The resolution highlights that this cancer has a high mortality rate, is often diagnosed at a late stage when treatment options are limited, and currently has no cure. It also mentions the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation, established in 2005, which works to find a cure and improve the quality of life for those affected. The resolution encourages citizens to wear the color kelly green, which represents cholangiocarcinoma, to raise awareness for this serious health condition and urges increased activity at all levels to address it.
