SRES 256 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution designating May 2025 as "American Stroke Month".

This Senate resolution designates May 2025 as "American Stroke Month" to raise public awareness about stroke prevention, symptoms (using the F.A.S.T. warning signs), and the importance of immediate emergency response. It encourages Americans to learn stroke risk factors, recognize symptoms, and call 911 at first signs to reduce long-term disability and mortality. The resolution recognizes federal and community efforts to combat stroke - identified as the fifth-leading cause of death in the U.S. - while promoting existing initiatives like the American Stroke Association's "Together to End Stroke" campaign. It does not create new laws or allocate funding, serving purely as a symbolic designation to support ongoing public health education.
