SUMMARY : Recognizes February 2014 as American Heart Month and
February 7, 2014, as Wear Red Day in California in order to
raise awareness of the importance of the ongoing fight against
heart disease and stroke; 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)More women die from heart disease than all forms of cancer
combined and more than one in three female adults has some
form of cardiovascular disease; yet only one in five women
believe that heart disease is her greatest threat.
3)Wear Red Day is celebrating its 10th Anniversary on February
7, 2014, and is asking all women across America to Go Red by
wearing red and speaking red to all of the following: Get Your
Numbers, ask your doctor to check your blood pressure and
cholesterol; Own Your Lifestyle, stop smoking, lose weight,
exercise, and eat healthy; Realize Your Risk; Educate Your
Family, make healthy food choices for you and your family and
teach your kids the importance of staying active; Don't Be
Silent, tell every woman you know that heart disease is their
No. 1 killer.
