Senate Resolution No. 743

BY: Senator TEDISCO

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 May 2025, as Pediatric Stroke Awareness Month in the
 State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months that are set aside to increase awareness of serious
issues that affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, it is the sense of this Legislative Body to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2025, as Pediatric
Stroke Awareness Month in the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Stroke occurs at a rate of one in 3,500 live births each
year, and five in 100,000 children per year; currently, stroke is one of
the top 10 causes of death for children between the ages of one and 19;
and

 WHEREAS, Of children surviving stroke, about 60% will have permanent
neurological deficits, most commonly hemiparesis or hemiplegia, learning
and behavioral difficulties, and may require ongoing physical therapy
and surgeries; and

 WHEREAS, The life-long health concerns and treatments resulting from
Pediatric Stroke result in a heavy financial and emotional toll on the
child, the family, and society; and

 WHEREAS, Very little is known about the cause, treatment and
prevention of Pediatric Stroke; and

 WHEREAS, Pediatric Stroke risk factors, symptoms, prevention
efforts, and treatment are often different in children than in adults;
and

 WHEREAS, Only through medical research can effective treatment and
prevention strategies for Pediatric Stroke be identified and developed;
and

 WHEREAS, An early diagnosis and commencement of treatment of
Pediatric Stroke greatly improves chances of recovery and prevention of
recurrence; and

 WHEREAS, It is imperative that there be greater public awareness of
Pediatric Stroke, and more must be done to increase activity at the
State, local and national levels to support those afflicted as well as
their families; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2025, as Pediatric
Stroke Awareness Month in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
