This resolution, a formal request from the New York State Legislative Body, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate October 5, 2026, as Child Health Day within the state. This proclamation would align with the national observance of Child Health Day, which occurs on the first Monday of October and aims to raise awareness and support for children's health, families, and those who work to improve it. The resolution highlights the importance of children's well-being, noting that factors like family income significantly impact their physical and mental health, and emphasizes the need for good nutrition and exercise to foster healthy development and academic success. It also acknowledges the ongoing efforts of national initiatives to provide children with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain healthy lifestyles, stressing the importance of public awareness and increased activity at all government levels to address children's health issues.
