AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim May 2025 as Stroke Awareness Month in New York State, highlighting the critical importance of stroke prevention and awareness. The resolution provides context about stroke's significant health impact, noting that every 40 seconds someone in the United States experiences a stroke, and it is the fifth leading cause of death, killing 147,000 people annually. It emphasizes key statistics, such as that 795,000 people will experience a stroke this year, with 40% of deaths occurring in males and 60% in females, and that more than one-third of Americans cannot identify stroke symptoms. The resolution also introduces the F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) stroke recognition system and underscores that understanding warning signs and obtaining emergency treatment can save lives and reduce disability. By requesting the governor's proclamation, the resolution aims to encourage New Yorkers to discuss stroke prevention and warning signs with their healthcare providers, ultimately raising public awareness about this serious medical condition.
