Senate Resolution No. 1437

BY: Senator PERSAUD

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 March 2026, as Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary
 Embolism Awareness Month in the State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to help increase
awareness of serious health conditions 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, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026, as Deep Vein
Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month in the State of New
York, in conjunction with the observance of National Deep Vein
Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month; and

 WHEREAS, Blood clots are a major health threat in New York State and
around the country; and

 WHEREAS, The United States Congress has designated March as Blood
Clot Awareness Month; and

 WHEREAS, According to the National Blood Clot Alliance, every minute
someone is diagnosed with a blood clot; and every six minutes a blood
clot kills someone; and

 WHEREAS, Blood clots do not discriminate by age, gender, ethnicity
or race; they affect everyone, infants, young children, teenagers,
people in middle age and senior citizens; across New York State, they
affect people from all walks of life; and

 WHEREAS, Blood clots are the number one killer of new mothers in
childbirth; and

 WHEREAS, Blood clots affect people being treated for cancer and
other chronic diseases, and people undergoing joint replacement surgery
and other surgical procedures; and

 WHEREAS, Blood clots can be triggered by a genetic predisposition or
by lengthy immobility; they can affect the more than five million
Americans with heartbeat problems, which places them at heightened risk
of a clot in the heart that can travel to the brain and cause stroke and
death; and

 WHEREAS, Many of the risks for life-threatening blood clots increase
as people age and so too will the public health challenge; and

 WHEREAS, Fortunately, many blood clots can be prevented but when
they do occur, poor outcomes including death, disease and recurrence,
can be preventable with early and accurate diagnosis and management; and

 WHEREAS, It is imperative that there be greater awareness of this
serious health condition, and more must be done to increase activity at
the local, State and National levels; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026, as Deep Vein
Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism 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.
