Assembly Resolution No. 629

BY: M. of A. Jensen

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 June 2025, as Scleroderma Awareness Month in the
 State of New York

 WHEREAS, The State of New York takes great pride in recognizing
official months established to increase awareness of serious diseases
that affect the lives of citizens of New York; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2025, as Scleroderma Awareness
Month in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of
National Scleroderma Month; and

 WHEREAS, Scleroderma is a group of rare diseases that involve
hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues; and

 WHEREAS, Approximately 300,000 individuals in the United States are
diagnosed with scleroderma; and

 WHEREAS, Scleroderma may affect the skin, blood vessels, internal
organs, and the digestive tract, and the signs and symptoms vary for
each type of scleroderma; and

 WHEREAS, Scleroderma affects women more often than men, most
commonly occurs between the ages of 25 and 55, and can occur in children
and infants; and

 WHEREAS, While there currently is no cure, a variety of treatments
can ease symptoms and improve the quality of life; and

 WHEREAS, Raising awareness of scleroderma, particularly among health
care professionals, is essential for faster diagnosis; and

 WHEREAS, This month is designated to raise public and professional
awareness of scleroderma, provide support to patients and their
families, and to promote more research to find improved treatments and
eventually a cure; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2025, as Scleroderma
Awareness Month in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York, and to the National Scleroderma Foundation.
