        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        October 24-30, 2021, as Respiratory Care 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
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 Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim October 24-30, 2021, as
Respiratory  Care Week in the State of New York, in conjunction with the
observance of National Respiratory Care Week; and

  WHEREAS, Hard-working doctors, nurses  and  respiratory  therapists,
primarily  in  the  United  States  and  Canada,  care for patients with
breathing difficulties due to chronic conditions like asthma; and

  WHEREAS, Celebrated annually, Respiratory Care Week  highlights  the
information  we  need  to keep us breathing well so we can enjoy a great
quality of life; and

  WHEREAS, This year's theme is Respiratory Care: Changing  the  World
One  Breath  at  a  Time,  and  encourages therapists and departments to
organize events and festivities within their workplaces and  communities
to:  celebrate  by  hosting  activities  to honor and reward respiratory
therapists for their contributions; motivate by encouraging patients and
their families in their battles against lung disease; educate by  taking
awareness  of  lung  diseases  like  COPD  and  asthma to the community;
inspire by building the desire in others to enter the  respiratory  care
profession;  and  learn  by  maximizing personal and professional skills
with new resources; 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 Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim October 24-30, 2021, as
Respiratory Care 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. Cuomo, Governor of the  State  of
New York.
