SUMMARY : Recognizes February 2012 as American Heart Month and
February 3, 2012, as Wear Red Day in California in order to
raise awareness of the importance of the ongoing fight against
heart disease and stroke; and, urges all Californians to show
support for women and the fight against heart disease by wearing
the color red. Specifically, this resolution makes the
following legislative findings:
1)February is designated as American Heart Month; and, Go Red
for Women is the American Heart Association's national call to
increase awareness about heart disease and inspire women to
take charge of their heart health.
2)Nearly as many women die of heart disease, stroke, and all
other cardiovascular diseases than the next four leading
causes of death combined, including all cancers; and, only 16%
of women surveyed in 2009 identified cardiovascular disease as
the greatest health problem facing them.
3)Wear Red Day is recognized nationwide each year to highlight
the Go Red for Women campaign; and, Californians should learn
the warning signs of heart disease and stroke.
