SUMMARY : Recognizes the month of February 2010 as American
Heart Month in California, recognizes February 4, 2010, as Wear
Red Day in California, and urges public support for Go Red for
Women events. Specifically, this resolution makes the following
legislative findings:
1)More women die of cardiovascular disease than the next five
leading causes of death combined, including all cancers; and
only 21% of women perceive heart disease as their greatest
risk.
2)The American Heart Association strives to inform all citizens
about the critical importance of tools and skills that will
increase the survival rate of men and women from heart disease
and stroke.
3)February is designated as American Heart Month; and, Go Red
for Women is the American Heart Association's national call to
increase awareness of heart disease and to inspire women to
take charge of their heart health.
