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

This non-binding Senate resolution designates May 2025 as "American Stroke Month." It emphasizes the importance of quickly identifying and treating stroke, notes that stroke outcomes improve with timely, appropriate care delivered at the right facility, and calls for a system of care that applies proven measures to every patient. The resolution cites statistics on stroke incidence and mortality, underscores risk factors such as high blood pressure, and references public awareness campaigns like the FAST (Face, Arm, Speech, Time) signs. It commits the federal government to promoting awareness, supporting stroke research, and improving access to affordable, quality care to reduce disability and death. It also commends ongoing efforts by states, organizations, and individuals, and urges Americans to learn stroke risk factors and to dial 911 at first signs of stroke. As a resolution, it is a symbolic statement of support and does not by itself create new laws, funding, or mandatory programs. It signals intent to align with existing stroke awareness and prevention efforts and may encourage further action by federal agencies, states, and non-governmental organizations.
