This resolution urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim May 2025 as Hypertension Awareness Month in New York State, with the primary goal of promoting public understanding about hypertension, a medical condition characterized by persistently high blood pressure. The resolution calls for supporting educational efforts that raise awareness about the health risks associated with hypertension and emphasizes the importance of early detection and treatment, including highlighting innovative medical approaches like renal denervation (a medical procedure that can help manage high blood pressure). The resolution also directs that an official, formally prepared copy of the resolution be sent directly to Governor Hochul, symbolizing the legislature's formal request and commitment to bringing attention to this significant health issue.
