           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.
