official weeks that are set aside to increase awareness of serious
health issues that affect the lives of the citizens of New York State;
and

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 3-9, 2023, as Public Health Week
in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of National
Public Health Week; and

and has seen increasing support over the years; and

achievements and improve the general health of the American people by
educating the public about various health issues and how they can live
longer lives; and

the effects and consequences of many health conditions and diseases by
preventing their onset or tackling any symptoms or issues early on; and

health issues, and more must be done to increase activity at the local,
state and national levels; now, therefore, be it
