Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Pediatric Stroke Awareness Month in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare May 2026 as Pediatric Stroke Awareness Month in New York. The resolution highlights the seriousness of pediatric strokes, noting that they are a leading cause of death for children and often result in long-term health challenges for survivors. By designating this specific month, the state aims to increase public knowledge about the unique risks, symptoms, and treatments for stroke in children. The primary effect is to encourage greater awareness and support for affected families through official state recognition rather than implementing new laws or funding.
