AI Summary
- Requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2026 as Peripheral Arterial Disease Awareness Month in New York State, aligning with the national observance
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) affects 10 million people nationwide but remains under-diagnosed and under-treated
- PAD occurs when leg arteries become clogged with fatty deposits, reducing blood flow and causing leg pain, disability, potential amputation, and increased risk of heart attack or stroke
- Risk factors include being over age 50, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or personal/family history of heart attack or stroke
- Aims to increase public awareness of PAD symptoms, which are often mistaken for normal signs of aging
