the timely diagnosis and optimal care of individuals affected by
Myasthenia Gravis and improves their lives through programs of patient
services, support groups, public information, medical research,
professional education, advocacy and patient care; and

 WHEREAS, It is imperative that there be greater public awareness of
this serious health issue, and more must be done to increase activity at
the local, State and national levels; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2025, as Myasthenia
Gravis Awareness Month in the State of New York, in conjunction with the
observance of National Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month; and be it
