Bill > SRes256

This resolution designates May 2025 as "American Stroke Month" and addresses the critical issue of stroke in the United States. The resolution highlights several important facts about stroke, including that it occurs every 40 seconds, is the fifth-leading cause of death, and affects nearly half of adults with high blood pressure. It calls for recognizing the federal government's commitment to fighting stroke through promoting awareness about causes, risks, and prevention, supporting stroke research, and improving access to quality care. The resolution emphasizes the importance of quick identification and treatment, using the "F.A.S.T." warning signs (Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call 911), and encourages all individuals to familiarize themselves with stroke risk factors and symptoms. Additionally, it commends the efforts of various entities supporting stroke awareness, including the American Stroke Association's "Together to End Stroke" initiative, and urges immediate 911 contact at the first sign of a stroke to reduce its devastating effects on the population.
