Hannon Hosts Hearing on Avian Influenza

Kemp Hannon along with Senator Balboni held a hearing about a potential avian influenza ("bird flu") pandemic in New York. Among those who testified were William Raub, Senior Scientific Advisor to the Secretary of Health and Human Services as well as a number of private and public health officials. As Health Committee Chair, Kemp Hannon is working to ensure New York has the capability to respond effectively to an avian flu outbreak as no one can truly predict if and when avian flu will emerge in the United States.
