This resolution calls on Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim October 2025 as Dysautonomia Awareness Month in New York State. The resolution provides context about dysautonomia, describing it as a group of medical conditions that cause malfunctions in the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. It highlights that dysautonomia affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds, with some forms being rare diseases and others impacting millions worldwide. The resolution emphasizes the importance of raising awareness to help patients get diagnosed and treated earlier, potentially saving lives and supporting affected individuals and families. By memorializing this proclamation, the legislative body aims to bring attention to the challenges faced by those living with dysautonomia and to recognize the efforts of organizations like Dysautonomia International in improving patient care and understanding. The resolution also directs that copies be transmitted to Governor Hochul and Dysautonomia International.
