What's happening
This resolution urges Governor Cuomo to proclaim March 3-9, 2017, as Endometriosis Awareness Week in New York State.
Why it matters
Raises visibility of a common but often misunderstood condition. Endometriosis affects millions, yet is frequently underdiagnosed or dismissed, leading to delayed treatment and prolonged suffering for many women.
Promotes public education and destigmatization. Official recognition helps foster conversations about endometriosis, encouraging those affected to seek help and reducing stigma around menstrual and reproductive health issues.
Encourages governmental and healthcare action. By urging the Governor to proclaim Endometriosis Awareness Week, the resolution can prompt state agencies, healthcare providers, and advocates to prioritize research, support, and resources for those impacted.
Aligns state efforts with national advocacy. Coordinating New York’s awareness week with the national observance amplifies the message, potentially influencing broader policy changes and increasing funding or support at multiple levels.

Senate Resolution No. 999 BY: Senator PARKER MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim March 3-9, 2017, as Endometriosis Awareness Week in the State of New York WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize official weeks that are set aside to increase awareness of serious health issues which 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 Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim March 3-9, 2017, as Endometriosis Awareness Week in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of National Endometriosis Awareness Week; and WHEREAS, Endometriosis affects women and occurs when tissue, similar to the lining of the uterus grows in other areas of the body, most commonly in the abdominal cavity; and WHEREAS, Endometriosis Awareness Week aims to raise awareness about this hidden and often unrecognized condition by promoting a greater understanding of endometriosis as a real, debilitating and disabling disease; and WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to help increase awareness of serious health issues which affect the lives of citizens of New York State; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim March 3-9, 2017, as Endometriosis Awareness Week in the State of New York; and be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to The Honorable Andrew M.
