"By creating one of the nation's first state health departments, lawmakers and elected officials in 1901 were taking a leadership role in public health that continues to this day. Take the issue of heart health: Just last month, Governor Hochul unveiled a budget proposal that makes major investments in our fight against cardiovascular disease. Healthy hearts start with healthy diets, which is why Governor Hochul included over $100 million for nutrition programs, food banks and food pantries in the Executive Budget."
"That's why the Governor's budget includes proposals to strengthen cardiac emergency readiness across New York State like $3.2 million to establish regional training hubs and ensure communities know how to use Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and support new, scalable approaches to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education; and New York's first statewide AED registry with the precise location of every AED across the state, enabling emergency dispatchers to direct individuals to the nearest device, saving critical time during cardiac events."
"As the head of our state's leading public health agency, I track a seemingly endless list of threats to the health, safety and wellbeing of New Yorkers. Some come from out of nowhere disease outbreaks or distant wildfires that threaten our air quality but some are stubbornly persistent. Every February we renew our focus on one of those areas as we mark American Heart Month."
New York State marks the 125th anniversary of its Department of Health and is prioritizing cardiovascular health through substantial budget proposals. Governor Hochul's Executive Budget includes more than $100 million for nutrition programs, food banks, and food pantries to support healthy diets. The proposal also funds $3.2 million to create regional training hubs, broaden CPR education, and ensure community familiarity with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). The budget would establish the state's first precise, statewide AED registry so emergency dispatchers can direct people to the nearest device, reducing response time during cardiac events.
