Bill > K00750

This resolution calls on Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim September 2025 as Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month in New York State, with the primary goal of increasing public understanding about brain aneurysms, a serious medical condition characterized by a weak, bulging spot on an artery wall in the brain that can potentially rupture. The resolution provides detailed medical context about brain aneurysms, explaining their potential risks, including symptoms like severe headaches, dilated pupils, double vision, and potential loss of consciousness, and highlights risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, and family history. Originally established by the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, the awareness month aims to educate individuals about screening, signs, symptoms, and risk factors, while also recognizing advances in medical treatments for both un-ruptured and ruptured aneurysms. By passing this resolution, the legislative body seeks to pause its deliberations to memorialize the importance of raising awareness about this health condition and urge New Yorkers to educate themselves about brain aneurysm prevention and treatment.
