Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025, as Sepsis Awareness Month in the State of New York

Senate Resolution J 404 requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025 as Sepsis Awareness Month in New York State, aligning with National Sepsis Month. The resolution highlights sepsis - a life-threatening condition triggered by infection that can cause organ failure and death - as affecting approximately 50,000 New Yorkers annually, and aims to raise public awareness about prevention, early treatment, and survivor support. This procedural resolution does not create new law but symbolically urges the Governor to prioritize sepsis education and community health efforts.
