Memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025 as Peripheral Arterial Disease Awareness Month in New York.

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025 as Peripheral Arterial Disease Awareness Month in New York. Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) affects 10 million people and is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. PAD occurs when arteries in the legs become restricted or clogged, leading to leg pain, disability, amputation, and poor quality of life. Blocked arteries in PAD patients can also increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. The resolution highlights the importance of greater awareness and increased activity at local, state, and national levels.
