Pennsylvania House Resolution 168 recognizes April 2025 as "World HIE Awareness Month" to highlight the impact of Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Pennsylvania House Resolution 168 recognizes April 2025 as "World HIE Awareness Month" to emphasize the importance of awareness, support, and education for Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). HIE, which occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen, affects 2 to 3 out of every 1,000 live births. While 75% to 80% of infants born with HIE survive, many experience seizures and developmental disabilities. Hope for HIE, an organization supporting families affected by HIE, provides resources and fosters a sense of community.
