Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025, as Peripheral Arterial Disease Awareness Month in the State of New York

This resolution asks Governor Hochul to officially declare September 2025 as Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Awareness Month in New York State, aligning with the national observance. It does not create new laws or programs but requests a symbolic proclamation to raise public awareness about PAD, a condition affecting an estimated 10 million people that often goes undiagnosed. The resolution highlights PAD's risks - such as leg pain, disability, heart attack, and stroke - and notes that many mistake its symptoms for normal aging. As a procedural resolution, it has no direct policy impact beyond encouraging public education efforts.
