Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2025, as Pediatric Stroke Awareness Month in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (J 743) requests Governor Hochul to declare May 2025 as Pediatric Stroke Awareness Month in New York. It is a symbolic gesture to increase public awareness about pediatric stroke, which affects children (1 in 3,500 births annually) and often leads to long-term disabilities. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funds; it simply urges the Governor to issue a proclamation recognizing the issue. The legislature adopted this resolution on April 8, 2025, as part of its tradition of supporting awareness initiatives.
