Assembly Resolution No. 751

BY: M. of A. Paulin

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 September 2025, as Sepsis 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
health issues that affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025, as Sepsis Awareness
Month in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of
National Sepsis Month; and

 WHEREAS, Sepsis is a life threatening response to infection, which
can cause tissue damage, organ failure, and death; and where severely
restricted blood flow from sepsis can lead to septic shock, requiring
immediate recognition and intervention to prevent death; and

 WHEREAS, This serious health issue occurs when the body's reaction
is atypical, triggering alterations, which can cause significant damage
to multiple organs, amputations, and cognitive difficulties; certain
population groups are more vulnerable to developing sepsis, such as the
young, older adults, individuals with chronic illness, those with
compromised immune systems, and those facing systemic healthcare
disparities; and

 WHEREAS, One out of three people will develop sepsis over their
lifetime and 1.7 million more are diagnosed with this health condition
annually; and

 WHEREAS, 350,000 people die each year from sepsis and approximately
50,000 New Yorkers are affected by this condition, including New York
State Senator Jose Peralta who died from sudden septic shock on November
21, 2018; and

 WHEREAS, 87 percent of sepsis occurs at home or in the community,
and every hour of delay in treatment increases the risk of death by four
to nine percent; and

 WHEREAS, National Sepsis Month is recognized throughout the United
States each September; and

 WHEREAS, It is imperative upon all residents of this great Empire
State that attention be brought to this debilitating and life
threatening health condition affecting so many of our friends, family
and neighbors in New York State; and further, in support of sepsis
education, prevention, screening, early treatment and survivors, and in
legacy to lives lost; now, therefore, be it

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

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York; Sepsis Alliance; END SEPSIS - The Legacy of Rory Staunton; The
Home Care Association of New York State; and IPRO, a New York State and
Federal quality improvement organization.
