MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
May 2023, as Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month in
the State of New York

WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months that are set aside to increase awareness of serious
health issues that affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2023, as Asthma and
Allergy Awareness Month in the State of New York, in conjunction with
the observance of National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month; and

WHEREAS, Each year, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America
(AAFA) declares May as National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month since
it is peak season for those suffering from asthma and allergies; and

WHEREAS, Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month is a perfect time to
educate people about these common diseases; and

WHEREAS, There is no cure for asthma and allergies, and many deaths
are preventable with proper treatment and care; 10 people a day die from
asthma; and

WHEREAS, Asthma affects more than 24.5 million Americans; more than
six million children under the age of 18 have asthma; and

WHEREAS, More than 50 million Americans suffer from all types of
allergies including pollen, skin, and latex, and the rate of allergies
is climbing; and

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body, representing the people of the State
of New York, supports the increase in public awareness regarding asthma
and allergies; it is important to help educate all citizens of the State
of New York of the serious and potentially life-threatening nature of
asthma and allergies; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2023, as Asthma and
Allergy Awareness Month in the State of New York; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
